Duran Duran - The Seventh Stranger Lyrics

Artist: Duran Duran

Album: Arena

  • Songwriters: Bates Nicholas James, Le Bon Simon John, Taylor Andrew, Taylor John Nigel, Taylor Roger Andrew

Those words are all remainders
Echoes growing in the heart of twilight
They lay back laughing at naivety's star
Awaken all those whispers

The dusty shadow of a passing favor
I wouldn't say that you were ruthless or right
I couldn't see from so far

Was I chasing after rainbows?
One thing for sure, you never answered when I called
And I wiped away the water from my face
To look through the eyes of a stranger

For rumors in the wake of such a lonely crowd
Trading in my shelter for danger
I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down
In the eyes of the stranger

Can't tell the real from reflections
When all these faces look the same to me
In every city such a desolate dream
Some days are strange to number

Some say the seventh sounds a little bit stranger
A year of Sundays seems to've drifted right by
I could sworn in one evening

And I'm not seized in desperation
No steel reproaches on the table from before
But I still can feel those splinters of ice
I look through the eyes of a stranger

For rumors in the wake of such a lonely crowd
Trading in my shelter for danger
I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down
In the eyes of the stranger

I must be chasing after rainbows
One thing for sure you never answer when I call
And I wipe away the water from my face
To look through the eyes of a stranger

For rumors in the wake of such a lonely crowd
Trading in my shelter for danger
I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down
Walking away like a stranger

For rumors in the wake of such a lonely crowd
Trading in my shelter for danger
I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down
In the eyes of the stranger

In the eyes of the stranger
In the eyes of the stranger
