lyrics

Who's that stranger? Who's that freak?
I don't understand a word it speaks.
It's got dark eyes and a big long beak.
Did it fall from outta space? Did it drink some toxic waste?
Oh, I just don't know.
Well, there lives a mutant named Crowman Hugh: who strapped black rakes to the end of its shoes.
Wore the mask of a bird; and dressed in dark; and danced around the street like it couldn't give a fuck.
It wasn't hurting anyone, just having some fun, by doing something different that never got done
But some folk just didn't get what it did, and believed it belonged in a looney bin.
But the brain weren't decayin', it's merely just playin', yet always and forever, you'll hear people sayin'
Who's that stranger? Who's that freak?
I don't understand a word it speaks.
It's got dark eyes and a big long beak.
Did it fall from outta space? Did it drink some toxic waste?
Oh, I just don't know.
Rolling in laughter and chewing their cud. It's hard to be impartial, so they deem it a dud.
Why don't it do as we do? Is it loose a screw? The cow's gone mad, now it don't know how to moo.
It needs to give a rest, for we detest this jest. We need to find the nest, so we can burn its eggs.
But those folks just won't blur from the herd. For to feel a bird is a to feel a turd.
The mirror's awaiting to give them a rating. Yet always and forever, you'll hear people saying:
Who's that stranger? Who's that freak?
I don't understand a word it speaks.
It's got dark eyes and a big long beak.
Did it fall from outta space? Did it drink some toxic waste?
Oh, I just don't know.
