Dangerous Strangers Lyrics by John Gallagher, Jr.

Six Day Hurricane

2016

In the backroom, she was backlit
For a time or two, everything fit
Inside a moment, there was no world
Only two souls, it was electric
It's gonna shock you, so don't touch it
Funny how easy it is to forget that
I think she flipped the switch on purpose
'Cause she was ready for her close-up
Cut and print it
Kid, you're gonna be a star
If we ever tear ourselves out of this bar
Or this moment, refusing to end
Feels like forever, it was only seconds
Perfect strangers in perfect danger
Well I might live and die and never learn a thing
But that might be a lie, I guess I learned to sing
From my mom and dad, and all the music
Someone gives you a gift, learn how to use it
It don't take flesh and bone to make a best friend
Don't need to breathe and bleed, it can be inanimate
Something that stays with you when people just don't
Sure they might love you, but can and just won't
And yet with all this love, I wanna rip it up
I wanna get dressed up, I wanna destruct
I bet you know some things that I do not get
If you show me, I will be your teacher's pet
Perfect strangers in perfect danger
And it's so much later
Than I thought I would stay when I came here
What am I doing here? I really don't know
I guess I'll have a beer, and I suppose I'll go
And walk around until my legs won't anymore
And then I'll go home and stumble through the door
I'm all alone now and I guess it's not so bad
Some nights I'm just fine, others I'm stuck really sad
I'm just a stone's throw from the Hudson
If I'm a no-show, check at the bottom
I'm gonna be okay, I'm gonna be alright
I'm gonna be okay, I'm gonna be alright
I'm gonna be okay, I'm gonna be alright
I'm gonna be okay, I'm gonna be a
Perfect stranger in perfect danger
And I don't remember how I got here
