Lyrics:

[verse]
i was looking at the stars
not the ones you've seen
silently opaque through the silver limousine
floating in the air
powdering to preen
chandeliers will crack
crumble reconveen

[bridge]
is there a pride before we fall?
born of the night time
wait in desire for something more
bored of the night time

[pre-chorus]
i don't know what to take now
i will wait for the upward feeling
meant to be any day now
will I ever be something more than

[chorus]
strange, strange or be forgotten
abstain from the passing fashion
if fame is really an illusion then
be strange, strange or be forgotten

[verse]
i am living in the past
future came to me
caught up in the tide of a distant memory
coming to the fore
waiting to reveal
caught up in the time of a different century

[bridge]
myriad eyes
you were alive for the first time
elegant smile
you were revived for the last time

[pre-chorus]
i don't know what to take now
i will wait for the upward feeling
meant to be any day now
will I ever be something more than

[chorus]
strange, strange or be forgotten
abstain from the passing fashion
if fame is really an illusion then
be strange, strange or be forgotten
