LYRICS:
play intro
play rhythm figure
I must be invisible
No one knows me
I have crawled down dead-end streets
On my hands and knees
I was born with a ragin' thirst
hunger to be free
But I've learned through the years
Don't encourage me
CHORUS
Cause I'm a lonely stranger here
Well beyond my day
And I don't know what's goin' on
So I'll be on my way
When I walk, stay behind
Don't get close to me
Cause it's sure to end in tears
So just let me be
Some will say that I'm no good
Maybe I agree
Take a look then walk away
That's all right with me
CHORUS
Play ending
