Stranger to the eyes of a child-man
The Republic Tigers
People everywhere
You got to stop and breathe the air
Then you might see it
But you won’t believe it
And all your life you’ve seen the signs
And they brought light to our design
It’s perforated
Meant to be upgraded
Science dubs more miracles
As distance grows from us back to the womb
It’s stranger to the eyes of a child-man
But these lights don’t make a carnival
Nah, it’s all wrong as
Strangers walk on past
The light that’s last
No shadows cast
And I’m one of them most of the time
No shadows cast
No shadows cast
It’s stranger to the eyes of a child-man
The path is where you stand
It’s not to be seen, so step ahead
Not complicated
But the signal’s faded
People everywhere
You grown up breathin’ stagnant air
Now when you see it
You got words to explain it
Everything’s been stigmatized
By those who add their own surprise
Makes it stranger to the eyes of a child-man
But these lights don’t make a carnival
Nah, it’s all wrong as
Strangers walk on past
The light that’s last
No shadows cast
And I’m one of them most of the time
But range is broad
And even still more vast
With no live-in past
Light built up blast
And I’ve never known a stranger thing
(never seen a stranger thing)
It’s stranger to the eyes of a child-man
(never known a stranger thing)
(never seen a stranger thing)
But these lights don’t make a carnival
(never known a stranger thing)
Though range is broad
(never seen a stranger thing)
And even still more vast
(never known a stranger thing)
With no live-in past
(never seen a stranger thing)
Light built up past
(never known a stranger thing)
And I’ve never known a stranger thing
