Strange Way

Strange way to start a revolution

Strange way to get a better tan

Strange way to hold a power breakfast

Strange way show your business plan

Strange way to see if wood would splinter

Strange way to do performance art

Strange way to say “I'll see you later”

Strange way to leave behind your heart


Strange dissident of meekness

And nurse of tangled souls

And so unlike the holy

To end up full of holes

Strange way


Strange way to hang around for hours

Strange way to imitate a kite

Strange way to get a view of Auschwitz

Strange way to represent the light

Strange way to watch for stormy weather

Strange way to disprove gravity

Strange way to go about fund-raising

Strange way to sing I'm liberty

Strange dissident of meekness

And nurse of tangled souls

And so unlike the holy

To end up full of holes

Strange way


Strange way to test for haemophillia

Strange way to spend a happy hour

Strange way to down a bitter cocktail

Strange way to merchandise your power

Strange way to reassure your mother

Strange way to finish your world tour

Strange way to pose for countless paintings

Strange way to gather in the poor


Strange dissident of meekness

And nurse of tangled souls

And so unlike the holy

To end up full of holes

The world is too much with us

Could we not now just elope?

Strange way to hold us closer

Strange way to give us hope

Strange way
