Strangered In The Night

Well it was dark at midnight 
There was hardly any moon 
And no one really saw much 
No one was really sure 
But something didn't seem right 
No things seemed kinda queer 
The roar turned into whispers 
Everyone stood there 

With the sound to split the night 
Like it hiding from the light 
Like strangers in the night 
Strangers in the night 

Well I didn't see them shotguns 
Oh I didn't see no knife 
But I saw this crazy black guy 
With a demon in his eyes 
And I heard him say "white man" 
I've seen that silver cue 
You don't remember me well 
But I remember you 

Well the sound just split the night 
Like it hiding from the light 
Like strangers in the night 
Strangers in the night 

Well the knife just left his fingers 
As the black guy took his aim 
White guys head exploded 
Black guy howled in pain 
And then everybody scattered 
I heard some woman scream 
"God damn you old black bastard 
Well you've blown away my dreams" 

Well the sound just split the night 
Like hiding from the light 
Like strangers in the night 
Strangers in the night 
Strangers in the night 
Strangers in the night
