Ian Anderson
Strange Avenues
Strange avenues, where you lose all sense of direction
And everywhere is Main Street in the winter sun
The wino sleeps --- cold coat lined with the money section
Looking like a record cover from 1971

And here am I --- warm feet and a limo waiting
Shall I make us both feel good? And would a dollar do?
But in your streets, I have no credit rating
And it might not take a lot to be alone just like you

Heading up and out now, from your rock island
Really good to have had you here with me
And somewhere in the crowd I think I hear a young girl whisper
"Are you ever lonely, just like me?"
