Mean Streak Lyrics - Tragically Hip

Is it a mean streak, you'd swear, you'd swear 

We never seen a stranger round here 

Is it the way the dust clings to the air 

But you'd swear, you'd swear 

Is it a mean streak, a desolation sound 

A copy of desire, oh nothing's that far down 

A mean streak on a western swing 

On TV saying the damnedest thing 

A meanstreak, you'd swear, you'd swear 

We never seen a stranger round here 

It's the way the dust clings to the air 

After a stranger's been there 

You'd swear, you'd swear

Is it a mean streak to a certain degree 

Come whistling down the crookedest street 

A mean streak in the ghost state 

Between the certain and the hesitating 

A meanstreak, you'd swear, you'd swear 

We never seen a stranger round here 

It's the way the dust clings to the air 

After a stranger's been here 

You'd swear, you'd swear 

Was that you there? 

That was you there 

Was that you there? 

That was you there 

Photos 

The sssh sound of the bottoms of their boots 

On the tops of the grass 

As their haywagon rolled past 

And I'd swear, I'd swear 

The way the dust clings to the air 

After the stranger's been here 

I'd swear, I'd swear 

That that was you there
