Strangeways Strangeways Strange, strange I was born into confusion - My mother said to me When you become a man you'll understand, but it's still a mystery And if you want to get ahead get some decent clothes The only way to make it, dress the part that gets right up my nose And I think to myself in this river of doubt This is something I can do without But strangeways is what I got The indians are coming I saw it on TV They're 20 000 strong but they always get depleted by the cavalry Salvation is at hand, it's guaranteed Just send a donation straight to God 1-800 toll free And I think to myself in this academy of fear Where am I going? What am I doing here? But strangeways is all I got Aaaah aaaah aaaah Have you seen the headlines? Princess engaged 3 million out of work but that's on the 2nd page The alien has landed, finger in his ear Can't hear a word I am saying but man that ain't such a bad idea And I think to myself in this cradle of lust Ashes to ashes and dust to dust But strangeways is all you get Mitzi Dupree Flying to Salt Lake City, seats 3A and B I was down and needed a window but in 3A sat Mitzi Dupree She said "Hi! I am Mitzi, the Queen of the Ping Pong! Where you going, boy?" I said "Nowhere" She said "I'm moving on" I thought, What is this? I cannot resist, here she is And I've always wanted a girl with a name A name like Mitzi Dupree mm Mitzi Dupree She said "What do you do?" I said I'm a singer in a band She said "Yeah, I'm an entertainer" Reached out and took my hand She was going to a mining town way up north to do her show I said it must be cold up there She said "Depends on who you know" Oh that look in her eyes, I can tell you no lies I'm just a man, she made me feel like a king in my mind I love you Mitzi Dupree mm my darling I love you Mitzi Dupree I said "What is this Queen of the Ping-Pong business?" She smiled "What do you think? It has no connection with China" I said "Ooow have another drink" Well I knew right away that I'd seen her act before In a room behind a kitchen in Bangkok And three or four times more in Singapore She may not be the first but I know she ain't the worst She was mine but I ran out of time Ouh I miss you, I love you Mitzi Dupree mm I love you my darling Mitzi Dupree My darling my darling my darling Mitzi Dupree A-a-a-auh iauh Mitzi Dupree ooh I love you Mitzi Dupree oow ooh Dead or alive Don't turn off the light, you might draw the Queen of Spades Don't shut the door, you don't need to be alone I won't bring you no food, there might be some poison in your meat I've got to know, are you dead or alive? Don't shut the door, are you dead or alive? Dead or alive? Pick your window you're leaving Don't look in the mirror with a dollar up your face You've got money to burn, you're cheap at half the price Ouh don't powder your nose, don't blow your brains Just for the the crack, I've got to know, are you dead or alive? Just for the crack, are you dead or alive? Dead or alive? Uh pick your window you're leaving You're running so fast but you know you're standing still I'm afraid of your shadow and the knife in it's hand You're dancing with death to the tune of the dealer And he don't care, don't give a toss Don't want to know if you're dead or alive Don't want to know if you're dead or alive Dead or alive? Dead or alive? Dead or alive? Pick your window you're leaving
