A World I Never Made
by

Mac Rebennack 
recording of 1982 
from 
Love Me Tender (MCA MCAD-886) 
The late show is over 
And the city is 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 
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
