I’m annoyed, everything’s annoying, don’t bother me
I don’t care what happens tonight
I just followed my heart and left
Why are you looking at me like that? I said I have a home

Is it here, or over there, or maybe back there?
I feel like I heard it’s hiding somewhere
Wandering, searching for something unknown
Trying to fill my empty heart with it

Standing alone in the neon-lit streets at night
Surrounded by drunken strangers, each with their own story
But I don’t belong anywhere
I’m just standing here, half-dreaming like a scarecrow

Pa-ra-ra-ra-pa-pa-pa-ra
Pa-ra-ra-ra-pa-pa-pa-ra
Pa-ra-ra-ra-pa-pa-pa-ra
A faint, almost invisible stranger

It’s okay, really, it’s okay, just walk on by
Even though my eyes and legs are shaky, it’s fine
I’m drunk, staggering, and I fell down with a thud
In my ears, I hear champagne supernova

Where should I look to make the streets stop swaying?
Wherever my eyes land, there’s nothing but a surreal blur
If I open my eyes, it’ll hurt, so I won’t open them tonight
I’ll stay like this and get through the night

Standing alone in the neon-lit streets at night
Surrounded by drunken strangers, each with their own story
But I don’t belong anywhere
I’m just standing here, half-dreaming like a scarecrow

They’re racing in expensive cars
Those two are suddenly fighting
They don’t even notice me
All they care about are looks, money, and status
But honestly, all of that’s just a bubble
And I don’t even have that bubble
In the end, this thin scarecrow
Is just standing here, half-dreaming like a scarecrow

Standing alone in the neon-lit streets at night
Surrounded by drunken strangers, each with their own story
But I don’t belong anywhere
I’m just standing here, half-dreaming like a scarecrow

Pa-ra-ra-ra-pa-pa-pa-ra
Pa-ra-ra-ra-pa-pa-pa-ra
Pa-ra-ra-ra-pa-pa-pa-ra
Just standing here, half-dreaming like a scarecrow
Pa-ra-ra-ra-pa-pa-pa-ra
Pa-ra-ra-ra-pa-pa-pa-ra
Pa-ra-ra-ra-pa-pa-pa-ra
A faint, almost invisible stranger
