Laurie Anderson - The Stranger lyrics

[Laurie Anderson - The Stranger lyrics]

A stranger came into our town at twilight
He said he had chosen our town
Out of all the other towns
He said, "Roll out the red carpet" he said
"I’m the one you have been waiting for"
He said, "I’ve come to serve you
No questions asked so let’s make a deal"
He said, "Let’s shake on it"
He said "Give me five"
He said "So put her here, let’s shake on it"

It’s the one with the pool
It’s the one on the corner
With the big garage
It’s the one with the fir
Tree in the front yard
Leave the lights on it’s twilight
