Ultravox – Stranger Within lyrics

Light gets through a crack in the door I tape up the windows once more Tight like a cold hand of fear Don't fear the stranger within Hands that petrify in the air Eyes catching things never there Sweet tension caught on my breath Don't fear the stranger within Watch every shape that escapes Scared to make that final mistake Speak to hear the sound of your voice Don't fear the stranger within Sit in the corner with your back to the wall Pray to your God with your head in your hands Your mask of fear is shrinking fast It's closing in more and more You stand on borrowed time Your sweating palms and chilling brow That wide-eyed panic makes you laugh You cry and laugh Freeze until the noise decays A shuffle from behind a door Your throat is tight, it makes you choke And smoke and choke Eyes will grow accustomed to the dark A stifled scream that won't come out There's nothing more to fear From the stranger within Don't fear the stranger within I feel the stranger within I see the stranger within Don't know the stranger within I am the stranger within I am the stranger within Explain Request ×
