Lamplight 33, The Second Ariel Pink Episode track two: Don’t Talk to Strangers, 2002
i recorded this song from memory, i heard it a long time ago! i don't know who wrote it, i don't know who sang it, i don't know where it came from or why! but i just know that i've heard it, somewhere, sometime, & i, just needed... to put it back out there, you know? so this song's for you, man! the one who wrote this song. & you're a stranger, & i'm a stranger. & even though we shouldn't be talking... i mean, who says we shouldn't be talking? i mean... you said we shouldn't be talking
the ghosts have lined these haunted seas (?) so i painted you a picture of my dreams & you love me, don't you? (yes, yes) you risk nothing, don't you? (no, no) so just say those words (okay, i'll go)
(please, don't talk) she said don't talk to strangers (please, don't talk) she said don't talk to strangers (please, don't talk) don't talk to strangers (please, don't talk) she said don't talk to strangers
you treat me like someone you don't know but if you know love then tell me so & you love me, don't you? (no, no) you risk nothing, don't you? (yes, yes) so just say those words (you're tired, i'm broke)
