Stranger Lyrics - Electric Light Orchestra

On a cold and windy morning 

Said goodbye to my old friends 

They were hangin' around the corner 

They were stayin' till the end, till the end 

On the other side of midnight 

I was lookin' for a place to stay 

And one thing's sure for certain 

I ain't never goin' back again, no more 

The streetlights looked so pretty 

As they spread into a town 

I was lookin' for another sundown 

And my head was spinnin' round and round 

Round and round 

Lookin' through the eyes of a stranger 

(I'm looking through the eyes) 

Lookin' through the eyes of danger 

Lookin' at the all-night dancer 

(I'm looking through the eyes) 

Never takin' all the chances 

Of a stranger 

As I walked into the main street 

Saw a crowd across the square 

And I heard a guitar playin' 

And I saw you standing there, standing there 

Lookin' through the eyes of a stranger 

(I'm looking through the eyes) 

Lookin' through the eyes of danger 

Lookin' at the all-night dancer 

(I'm looking through the eyes) 

Never takin' all the chances 

Of a stranger 

Distant bells they started ringing 

Somewhere far off in the night 

And the place was full of loneliness 

That disappeared from sight 

Lookin' through the eyes of a stranger 

(I'm looking through the eyes) 

Lookin' through the eyes of danger 

Lookin' at the all-night dancer 

(I'm looking through the eyes) 

Never takin' all the chances 

Of a stranger, lookin' through the eyes of a stranger 

I am never going back 

Never going back
