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

A hunger to be free

But I've learned through the years

Don't encourage me

'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

'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.
