I mistook you for a stranger
My lady in a golden outfit
I mistook you for a stranger
My lade in a cornflake steamboat
I mistook you for a stranger
My lady in a golden outfit
I mistook you for a stranger
My lade in a steamboat la la
When the saints go marching in
A man who had 10 000 acres
But it was more than washed away
You could barely see the scrapes
When the saints go marching in
Barking at the moon again
A man with everything, you name it
But the love he threw away
When it became a pound of waist
And barking at the moon behind him
These downing days are cruel
It's the coming of the age that bothers you
You planned it in your room:
Two guys in a time machine
They'll plug into your world from a moonlit sky
And I wonder if you ever really noticed it but
Somehow things make sense
Although you don't know why
I mistook you for a stranger
My lady in a golden outfit
I mistook you for a stranger
My lade in a cornflake steamboat
I mistook you for a stranger
My lady in a golden outfit
I mistook you for a stranger
My lade in a steamboat la la
