I wish I had a penny 
For every time 
I told her 
I loved her 
But that sincerity 
I know won't raise the fare 
She was born with a wanderlust 
And against the odds she made the grade 
Now out of sight is out of mind to her 
I'm scared... 
It's a big bad big bad dead end world 
If I close my eyes 
I can't forget you, stranger 
In my sleep 
I see you dancing into danger 
Mister don't shoot her 
You can't see the whites for the reds of her eyes 
Maybe she's been crying over me 
While you're lying over her 
Talk of us is words in perfect tenses 
It seems that action men have broke down your defences 
We're passing strangers 
But your leaving left me wondering why 
These times have changed us 
Caught in the middle of a big bad dead end world 
Caught in the middle of a big bad dead end world 
Friends rally round but it's not just a question of sympathy 
Others come and go why won't you come and go with me? 
We're passing strangers 
But your leaving left me wondering why 
These times have changed us 
Caught in the middle of a big bad dead end world 
Caught in the middle of a big bad dead end world
