stranger in paradise

take my hand

i'm a stranger in paradise

all lost in a wonderland

a stranger in paradise

if i stand starry-eyed

that's the danger in paradise

for mortals who stand beside an angel like you

i saw your face and i ascended

out of the commonplace into the rare

somewhere in space i hang suspended

until i know there's a chance that you care

won't you answer this fervent prayer

of a stranger in paradise

don't send me in dark despair

from all that i hunger for

but open your angel's arms

to this stranger in paradise

and tell him that he need be

a stranger no more

oh yeah
