Lyrics
"Your Favorite Stranger"
(Post/Succession)
Thanks for droppin' in, it's been far too long,
Missed you every time, last call's come and gone.
Cut loose for awhile but your life hasn't changed
Stopped your medication, the disease somehow remains.
Better not come home again just to find nobody there.
Let the demons whisper sweet nothings in your ear.
Time's up for you... The man of the hour is lost again.
Time to be selfish... Nice guys, they always finish last.
Reassume command and have a say in what's to pass.
Steep yourself in chaos then bleed your senses dry,
You can walk the walk while you stagger from side to side.
Chorus:
So be proud, announce it
Three cheers for the golden boy
That tall drink of water on deck with his head held high
Give it up again for your favorite stranger...
He's got all the shifty moves you need from time to time.
Are you feeling down?
Clean up your act at any time.
Just enjoy the moment,
Try not to step across the line.
Once more into the loving arms of your abandoned flame,
That warm, elusive misery brings a smile back to your face.
Chorus:
So be proud, announce it
Three cheers for the golden boy
That tall drink of water on deck with his head held high
Give it up again for your favorite stranger...
He's got all the shifty moves you need from time to time.
Bridge:
Two parts scared little boy,
One part tired old man.
A self-fulfillling prophecy,
Lifelong honesty ban.
The measures you resort to,
Are the failures that you curse.
Sabateurs and braggarts,
Who make your problems worse...
Chorus:
Be proud, announce it
Three cheers for the golden boy
That tall drink of water on deck with his head held high
Give it up again for your favorite stranger...
He's got all the shifty moves you need from time to time.
Steep yourself in chaos then bleed your senses dry,
You can walk the walk while you stagger from side to side.
And if you feel pause ignore it,
You won't get there on your own.
You'll just freeze up again,
Stagger down the narrow road...
