Stranded Lyrics by Stan Ridgway

Stranded Lyrics

    She was standin' near the railroad track when she first flagged me down
    I was drivin' outta town
    All alone


    Her face held every feelin' in but her eyes gave her away
    One look and you would say
    No way home


    Walkin' through an airport lounge
    Somewhere way off in spain
    Through a scratchy intercom it came
    Loud and clear...


    Chorus:
    You're worn and used and you can't talk
    Your flight has been postponed, now you must walk
    Straight up that hill¨c¨cnow you must push your own rock



    The iceburg cut into the hull while the captain rang the bell
    How he went down, who could tell
    Cold as ice


    Beneath the waves the ocean liner sank into the sand
    You still could hear the band
    Auld lang syne


    Out in space their orbit then just started to decay
    She was burnin' up the atmosphere
    Burn away


    Chorus repeat
