The company of strangers


Hi, How are you
How was your weekend and what are we going to do today ?
No. I'm O.K.
Its just that this office is starting to look like a cage
From the outside it shines like a beacon
Offering shelter to the lost and the weakened

But here, in this room
I've wiled away hours
And planted the flowers of doom in my life

Smiles, like you say
Can wipe away sadness but this little game's here to stay

For an instant I thought I knew you
That day you broke down and smashed up the cooler
Crystal-clear water drenched all the carpets
Wild nervous laughter filled our department

as you screamed out....

Hey, What You Say
Why don't we start our own company
And we'll call it
The Company of Stangers

For twenty-five years I have sat by your side
Typing letters and memos for people who hide
Behind doorways with titles in hallways of horrible crime

We never had time for the things that we wanted to do
When we saved up enough to be happy
Its true in the end all you have is a moment or two
But....

Hey, What You Say
Why don't we form our own company
And we'll call it
The Company of Stangers

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics THE COMPANY OF STRANGERS of ABRAHAM CLOUD is also present in the album Another successful breakfast (1995)
