Stranger Still [The Margin]
[Verse 1]
Stranger still in another town
How normal to sit out the dance
Eating the good meal by myself
Toasting the empty glass;
And they're already setting out the next place
Already forgetting about the last

[Refrain]
Oh nothing could be less strange in entropy
No change, no change, no change

[Verse 2]
No danger in a normal life
You better steady down the adrenalin pump
Excess refraction in the mirror
Only leads to the quantum jump....
But that leaves me in limbo;
Oh how strange, what a strangеr I become

[Refrain]
No, no, nothing could be lеss strange in entropy
No change, no change, no change

[Bridge]
No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now
I don't tear at the meat with my hands;
If I've become a man of the world somehow
That's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Keep on shuffling the menu
And the order never comes on time
Oh no, there's only diffraction patterns
No reading between the lines;
Only the rate of emission
And reason allows no rime

[Refrain]
Oh nothing could be less strange in entropy
No change, no change, no change
No, nothing could be less strange in entropy
No change, no change, no change
No, nothing could be less strange in entropy...

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
A stranger, a worldly man
A stranger, a worldly man
A stranger, a worldly man
A stranger, a worldly man
A stranger, a worldly man
A stranger, a worldly man
A stranger, a worldly man
A stranger, a worldly man
A stranger, a worldly man
A stranger, a worldly man
A stranger, a worldly man
A stranger, a worldly man
