Strangered In The Night

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
Well it was dark at midnightThere was hardly any moonAnd no one really saw muchNo one was really sureBut something didn't seem rightSomething was kinda queerA roar turned into whispersEveryone stood thereAs the sound split the nightThey ran hiding from the lightLike strangers in the nightLike strangers in the nightWell I didn't see no shotgunI didn't see no knifeBut I saw this crazy black guyWith the demon in his eyeAnd I heard him say "white man"I've seen that silver cueYou don't remember me wellBut I remember youAs the sound split the nightThey ran hiding from the lightLike strangers in the nightLike strangers in the nightWell the knife just left his fingersAs the black guy took his aimWhite guy's head explodedThe black guy howled in painThen everybody scatteredI heard some woman screamGod damn you old black bastardYou've blown away my dreamsAs the sound split the nightThey ran hiding from the lightLike strangers in the nightLike strangers in the night
