"Stranger" lyrics

(Ooh)
There is a stranger wearing your face around
It laughs with your tongue
And it tracks your mud all through the house

There is a stranger blinking your juniper eyes
When it's sleeping
Up I peel them
Are you hiding somewhere inside?

Let me find you
(Hmm)
Let me find you
(Hmm)

I empty the box of turnips
Where did it hide your soul?
Not with dust bunnies 'neath the furnace
Nor the drawer where broke things go

(Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm)
There is a stranger draped in your inside-out clothes
(Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm)
It scrawls on my walls phrases only the devil should know
(Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm)
And I cannot tame it with salt, holy water or sage
(Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm)
So call out to me, son, before I must dig your skin's grave

Let me find you
(Hmm)
Let me find you
(Hmm)

There is a stranger
Clawing at the crack in the door
I rused it outside, but it can't hack the cold anymore
It howls through the keyhole, "If you love me, you'll let me inside"
(Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm)
(If you love me, you'll let me inside)
But with its sinew-woven canines, that thing can be no son of mine
(Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm)

Bitter call of the hunting gun
Why'd you let the woods husk my son?
Body spewing tongues until dawn comes
Clutching a bundle of wisteria (ahh)

Have I found you?
Have I found you?
(Ooh)
(Ooh)
(Ooh)
