Letters To Strangers

Who do you want to be today?

Choose another person

Ask yourself the question

How do you think he likes to dress?

Is he looking out for someone to impress?

Or is he just a loner?

Don't you travel far from home

Just reinvent the places

Avoid the known faces

These are the streets that you expected you'd outgrown

But you're only around the corner from home

And today you're not from around here

Today you've never been here

Today it's all so new here

And take the blindfold off now that we're stuck

And let you out the car without a frock

Just come back to me

You're shedding your own skin today

You're shedding your own skin today

left behind in corner

The secrets and the mourners

That isn't the life for an honorable man

So you're trying on the life of one who can

Call himself a hero

So walk a different street today

Just because you can do and nobody will know you

And if a passerby stops to say hello

You'll just tell them you really don't know

How the hell you got here

How the hell you got here

You know just how you got here

I'll drop you on a street the way we planned

And let you play the part of this new man

Just come back to me

Who do you want to be today?

Don't you travel far from home

Now won't you stay

Who do you want to be today?

Don't you travel far from home

Now won't you stay

You're shedding your own skin today
