Stranger In Moscow - Michael Jackson

Album: HIStory - Past, Present And Future - Book I

genre: Ballad Pop Soul

I was wandering in the rain
Mask of life, feelin’ insane
Swift and sudden fall from grace
Sunny days seem far away
Kremlin’s shadow belittlin’ me
Stalin’s tomb won’t let me be
On and on and on it came
Wish the rain would just let me

How does it feel (How does it feel)
How does it feel
How does it feel
When you’re alone
And you’re cold inside

Here abandoned in my fame
Armageddon of the brain
KGB was doggin’ me
Take my name and just let me be
Then a beggar boy called my name
Happy days will drown the pain
On and on and on it came
And again, and again, and again…
Take my name and just let me be

How does it feel (How does it feel)
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel (How does it feel now)
How does it feel
How does it feel
When you’re alone
And you’re cold inside

How does it feel (How does it feel)
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel (How does it feel now)
How does it feel
How does it feel
When you’re alone
And you’re cold inside

Like a stranger in Moscow
Lord have mercy
Like a stranger in Moscow
Lord have mercy
We’re talking danger
We’re talking danger, baby
Like a stranger in Moscow
We’re talking danger!
We’re talking danger, baby!
Like a stranger in Moscow
I’m living lonely
I’m living lonely, baby!
Stranger in Moscow

“Why have you come from the West?
Confess! To steal the great achievements of the people, the accomplishments of the workers…”
