You're The Stranger

Don't hang that sign on me 
You're the stranger 
Don't try to talk to me 
You're the stranger 

On the seas 
They came from far away 
From the skies 
Their silver birds of prey 

In one day 
Ten thousand years could change 
We are fools 
To live your pilgrim ways 

Don't hang that sign on me 
You're the stranger 
Don't try to talk to me 
You're the stranger 

And we drive 
Five hundred miles this time 
To the edge 
Of crystal-cut blue sky 

Silence breathes 
South of the border line 
Silent trees 
Look back and wonder why 

Did Father and his Holy Son 
Spread the word and point the gun? 
And where the eagle used to fly 
They carve their concrete in the sky 
Tearing at our Mother's skin 
Taking all her blood within 
Remember how it used to be? 

Did Father and his Holy Son 
Spread the word and point the gun 
And where the eagle used to fly 
They carve their concrete in the sky 
Tearing at our Mother's skin 
Taking all her blood within 
Remember how it used to be? 
Stand up again and say: 

Don't hang that sign on me 
You're the stranger 
Don't try to talk to me 
You're the stranger 
Don't hang that sign on me 
You're the stranger 
Don't try to talk to me 
You're the stranger
