Text: Rik Kaez. Screaming Blue Murder. Stranger.

She said: "Stranger where have you been?
Coming home to me".
I've been here and there
And I've been somewhere in between.

"What is it you can bring me?
Which is not hurt or grief".
All treasures have been stolen
To bargain is to be deceived

You say I don't look happy
You say I often seem sad
That I'm half the man I used to be
Well, what does it mean to be a man?

And yeah, wild women do crowd my mind
With rankness and serpentine
And yeah, my flesh is often weak
And my spirit screams to be released

Sometimes all lays in ruin
And I treat it with less care
But while busy destroying
I do learn how to repair

You say I don't look happy
You say I often seem sad
That I'm half the man I used to be
Well, what does it mean to be a man?

And what would I live for?
If I would have to die for you
I can live fast and die young
Or have patients to outlive this nonsense

You say I don't look happy
You say I often seem sad
That I'm half the man I used to be
Well, what does it mean to be a man?
