Its been a strange night

Radio Istanbul and a seasick flight

And such a cold day

So many empty voices with important things to say

Ah, but you smile

Cause you know you wont be hanging for the trial

Theyll have to judge you in absentia for a while

As your [vast and gnarled soul?] touches down
D#
In a neeeeeeeeew town
G#m
Its been a strange life

Its been a bad year
D#
Far too many Xs in the atmosphere
G#m
Just like a dull knife
D#
You never know when youre gonna feel the bite
Fb
Ah, but you laugh
G#m
The immigration man he wants your autograph
C#
And you catch your sad reflection in the glass
F#
But you wash it from your memory like a stain
D#
In a sloooooooow drain
G#m
Its been a strange life
[Verse 3]

Its been a strange life

Stumbling up the stairs and looking for the light

There are no just laws

You know one mans battle is anothers lost cause

As you toooooooouch down

Its been a strange life
