Stranger in This World

I'm turning my back on this life
 For as long as I can
 Someone make me star
 'Cause I sure as hell can't be a man
 I'm too fragile and clever you know
 And this universe just leaves me cold
 I'm just hanging around here
 I'm longing for someone to hold
 You always knew didn't you mother
 You always knew as mothers always do
 You always knew didn't you mother
 I was a stranger in this world
 This dumb education was never quite part
 Of my plan
 So you left me to ruin
 But I'll always know who I am
 I'm too fragile and clever you see
 And your universe just leaves me cold
 I'm just hanging around here
 I'm longing for someone to hold
 You always knew didn't you mother
 You always knew as mothers always do
 You always knew didn't you mother
 I was a stranger in this world
 Whoever told you that these were the days
 Of our lives?
 The sweet boys they crumble
 And the wicked ones rise and survive
 And they're running our lives
 Yes they're running our lives
 You always knew didn't you mother
 You always knew as mothers always do
 You always knew didn't you mother
 I was a stranger in this world
 On a clear day, I can see myself for miles
 Oh mother, oh mother, mother
