He s a perfect stranger
Like a cross
of himself and a fox.
He s a feeling arranger
And a changer
of the ways he talks.
He s the unforeseen danger
The keeper of
the key to the locks.
Know when you see him
Nothing can free him.
Step asideopen wide
It s the loner.

If you see him in the subway
He ll be down
at the end of the car.
Watching you move
Until he knows
he knows who you are.
When you get off
at your station alone
He ll know that you are.
Know when you see him
Nothing can free him.
Step asideopen wide
It s the loner.

There was a woman he knew
About a year or so ago.
She had something
that he needed
And he pleaded
with her not to go.
On the day that she left
He died
but it did not show.
Know when you see him
Nothing can free him.
Step asideopen wide
It s the loner.
