Strange New World - Steve Wynn

Once I was down in New Orleans

Mixing Scotch with gasoline

The stench was bad, the juice was clean

You shoulda heard just what I seen

Lightning flashed and split the sky

Thunder rolled from way up high

Blacked out and hit the ground

When I awoke this is what I found

Moving fast, moving clean

Stepping lightly like a dream

Hairs on end, toes curl

It’s a strange new world

Like Rip Van Winkle I was amazed

Cuz 20 years was only 20 days

I was connected to everyone

They knew me and what I’d done

Way on top but I don’t know why

Lord knows I didn’t try

The King of Swing, The Duke of Earl

It’s a strange new world

I fee alive, I feel free

Evolution got a hold on me

Moving on but standing still

Watch me fly from the windowsill

Taking speed just like I should

Getting while it’s good

Got the clams, got the pearl

It’s a strange new world
