A woman from the burlesque scene 
In a purple dress she stares at me 
Whilst consulting a map in that feathery dress 
And drinking pink champagne on a southwest train she says 

Everybody in this town is oh so strange 

A London born man in a baseball cap 
Stairs down at his paint stained pants 
Reads the paper tries to ignore all the strangers 
Drinking white lightening to pass the time he says 

Everybody in this town is oh so strange
