[Backwards]
You're playing me backwards
(Evil laughter)
[Verse 1]
On a cold and windy morning
I said goodbye to my old friends
They were hangin' around the corner
They were stayim' till the end, till the end
ON the other side of midnight
I was lookin' for a place to stay
And one thing's sure for certain
I ain't never goin' back again, no more
(These strangers)
[Verse 2]
The streetlights looked so pretty
As they spread into a town
I was lookin' for another sundown
And my heard was spinnin' round and round, round and round
[Chorus]
Lookin' through the eyes of a stranger
(I'm lookin' through the eyes) Lookin' through the eyes of danger
Lookin' at the all-night dancer
(I'm lookin' through the eyes) Never takin' all of the chances of a stranger (Stranger)
[Verse 3]
As I walked into the main street
I saw a crowd across the square
And I heard a guitar playin'
And I saw you standin' there, standin' there
[Chorus]
Lookin' through the eyes of a stranger
(I'm lookin' through the eyes) Lookin' through the eyes of danger
Lookin' at the all-night dancer
(I'm lookin' through the eyes) Never takin' all of the chances of a stranger (Stranger)
[Verse 4]
Distant bells, they started ringing
Somewhere far-off in the night
And the place was full of loneliness
That disappeared from sight, Oooooooh
[Chorus]
Lookin' through the eyes of a stranger
(I'm lookin' through the eyes) Lookin' through the eyes of danger
Lookin' at the all-night dancer
(I'm lookin' through the eyes) Never takin' all of the chances of a stranger (Lookin' through the eyes of a stranger)
[Instrumental]
[Outro]
I ain't never going back
Never going back
Never going back
Never going back
Never going back
Never going back
Never going back
Never going back
