World I Never Made - Dr. John

The late show is over

And the city fast asleep

And I’m lost in a world

That’s just too cold and deep

I’ve turned so many ways

I’m spinning like a top

And I wish that I could get off

Or get this world to stop

I’m a stranger and afraid

I’m a stranger and afraid

I’m a stranger and afraid

In a world I never made

I’m always chasing dragons

With a sword that’s made of tin

So I know in my soul

There’s no way I can win

I tried, oh I tried

But there’s no place, no place to go There’s no one here who knows me And no one here I know

I’m a stranger and afraid

I’m a stranger and afraid

I’m a stranger and afraid

In a world I never made
