Mistaken For Strangers lyrics

[Verse 1]

You have to do it running

But you do everything that they ask you to

Cause you don't mind seeing yourself in a picture

As long as you look far away

As long as you look removed

[Bridge]

Showered and blue-blazered

Fill yourself with quarters

Showered and blue-blazered

Fill yourself with quarters

[Chorus]

You get mistaken for strangers by your own friends

When you pass them at night

Under the silvery, silvery Citibank lights

Arm in arm in arm and eyes and eyes glazing under

Oh, you wouldn't want an angel watching over

Surprise, surprise, they wouldn't wanna watch

Another un-innocent, elegant fall

Into the un-magnificent lives of adults

[Verse 2]

Make up something to believe in your heart of hearts

So you have something to wear on your sleeve of sleeves

So you swear you just saw a feathery woman

Carry a blindfolded man through the trees

[Bridge]

Showered and blue-blazered

Fill yourself with quarters

Showered and blue-blazered

Fill yourself with quarters

[Chorus]

You get mistaken for strangers by your own friends

When you pass them at night

Under the silvery, silvery Citibank lights

Arm in arm in arm and eyes and eyes glazing under

Oh, you wouldn't want an angel watching over

Surprise, surprise, they wouldn't wanna watch

Another un-innocent, elegant fall

Into the un-magnificent lives of adults

You get mistaken for strangers by your own friends

When you pass them at night

Under the silvery, silvery Citibank lights

Arm in arm in arm and eyes and eyes glazing under

Oh, you wouldn't want an angel watching over

Surprise, surprise, they wouldn't wanna watch

Another un-innocent, elegant fall

Into the un-magnificent lives of adults
