A Handsome Stranger Called Death - Jamie Lenman

Tall dark and handsome, a cigar in your mouth

A little black dog, and suitcase by your side

The lights had turned down real low

I knew it from the get go

Couldn’t help but take my lipstick out

You told me to start walking

The streets were overcrowded here that night

You told me to look straight into the light

Look the angels are all coming down for you tonight

We walked past the roses past all the houses in the street

The faces in the window knew that

Something wasn’t meant to be seen

We started walking faster

My heart was all a flutter

I couldn’t help but follow you it seemed

You told me to start running

The streets were overcrowded here that night

You told me to look straight into the light

Look the heavens are opening up for you tonight

A handsome stranger called death…

Somebody save me, I don’t wanna be another

Dead at twenty, something or another

I’m a kid full of history, I don’t wanna be another

Dead at twenty something, or another…

Tall dark and handsome, a cigar in your mouth

A little black dog and the biggest smile

Maybe I should go, he tells me I should go

The streets are overcrowded, let’s get out

Somebody save me, I don’t wanna be another

Dead at twenty, something or another

I’m a kid full of history, I don’t wanna be another

Dead at twenty, something or another

I have to make my history

I don’t wanna be another with no history

Someone or another or a dead twenty
