lyrics

A night with a stranger,
Is better than being alone,
You don’t really know him,
You’re tempted to just bring him home.
He’s speaking so gently,
You’re sure you see pain in his eyes,
You think you can help him,
You’re in for a giant surprise.
When a stranger starts talking,
With four different voices,
You start watching the clock
On the wall.
You’ve had it with losers,
And loners who hang on you words,
Complainers and mopers,
Who desperately want to be heard.
The lying disguisers,
Who quietly mess with you head,
The secretive schemers,
Just trying to climb in your bed.
Don’t trust the stranger,
There’s hidden danger,
He’ll try to hang you, tonight.
He comes on so slowly,
He finds so much warmth I your eyes,
But nobody warned you,
You can’t see through every disguise.
You need to be careful,
You need to know when to beware,
If caring comes easy,
You have to learn how not to care.

about

Orphan Jane New York, New York

Orphan Jane is circus tents and gypsies, traditional blues and vaudeville, a dear friend of whom you're just a little afraid. Like a drink cut with sharp mandolins, wheezing accordions and thrilling falsettos, chased by the driving lines of a standup bass. A vocalist equal parts Lotte Lenya and Little Mermaid with a band of hooligans growling close behind. Classic American folk tradition made new. ... more
