Loudon Wainwright III - Strange Weirdos Lyrics

Isn't it strange the two strangers
Suddenly don't feel so strange
It's something familiar, though this time is different
What they're in for feels like sea change

Isn't it weird the two weirdos
Can wind up not feeling that weird
It's all so momentous, yet perfectly normal
Scary but not to be feared

And it starts with a sentence
That might last a lifetime
Though it all might just
Go down in flames

If I let you know me then
Why would you want me
Each day I don't is a shame
Each day I don't is a great shame

Isn't it great that two people
Together can tear down one wall
A handwriting is on, it's not hieroglyphic
That barrier just has to fall

Well, isn't it sad that most people
Stay so lonely, it's almost a crime
We might be strange weirdos
Well, it can't be normal
To be frightened so much of our time

And it starts with a sentence
That might last a lifetime
Though it all might just
Go down in flames

If I let you know me then
Why would you want me?
Each day I don't is a shame
And each day I don't is a great shame
