The freeze begins from within and works it's wicked way out
Chilling everyone and everything you touch , so hard that I shout
The hate you see is from the pain you've caused
It grows 'round you now, like a crowded garden is lost
To the weeds that scream get out
Strangways you lived your life as a lie
Strangways and now I'm saying, goodbye
You possessed the wit and the style and the charm to disarm
But you used fear and anger and hate to harm
Strangways you lived your life as a lie, crazy
Strangways and now I'm saying and now I'm saying
Goodbye hey yeah oooh woah
Like father, like son, the saying goes
A burden, a curse, as history shows yeah
You died at night without warning they stole your soul (They stole your soul)
Denied the light in our mourning it took it's toll
But it was short and sweet and maybe not heartfelt (Oooh maybe not heartfelt)
It's not easy (It's not easy) forget the cards you're dealt (The cards you're dealt)
Strangways you lived your life as a lie, crazy
Strangways and now I'm saying, and now I'm saying
Strangways you lived your life as a lie, crazy
Strangways and now I'm saying and now I'm saying goodbye
And now I'm saying goodbye (Goodbye)
Strangways and now I'm saying
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
