[Verse 1]
See boy strange on the horizon of love
He's calling to you
What do you say?

[Verse 2]
See boy strange as an example of youth
So close to the truth
But still far away

[Chorus]
And he's such a strange boy
D'you think he'll make a good exchange for
The one before a closed door
That you left behind?

[Verse 3]
When you realise that this boy is strange
It's too late to change your point of view

[Verse 4]
He's often there when the Sun meets the sky
With a perfect alibi
Unlike you

[Chorus]
And he's such a strange boy
D'you think he'll make a good exchange for
The one before a closed door
That you left behind?

[Verse 5]
To talk of common sense is a complete waste of time
His looks are a crime
Bound to commit

[Verse 6]
In the eyes of the world
He's borderline fool
Both naive and cruel
Why would you inflict
Him on you?

[Chorus]
And he's such a strange boy
D'you think he'll make a good exchange for
The one before a closed door
That you left behind?
And he's such a strange boy
D'you think he'll make a good exchange for
The one before a closed door
That you left behind?
