Lyrics
Well behind these closed doors
And the comfortable allure
There's something not quite as you might expect
It seems the perfect place to go
To set up you're new home
But there's something you might never quite detect
This is a strange town
This is a strange town
Well it bites and it writhes like a Cobra
It likes to draw you in and win you over
But there's something wrong you might not detect
Something you might ordinarily reject
This is a strange town
This is a strange town
This is a strange town
This is a strange town
