Song Description

The story of a dangerous and mysterious stranger, who happens to be a hell of a dancer and can dance the tango until dawn.

Lyrics

Have you heard about the tu-toned stranger, French, from St. Croix?
He had the greasy wear, kinky hair. He was one of the boys.

Demons at your door and youÂ?re laughinÂ?
Cause he wonÂ?t get no more.
Demons at your door and youÂ?re laughinÂ?
Cause he wonÂ?t get no more.

You tell me that the street people, Had all come undone.
Your babyÂ?s at the party, Oh you funky one.

But the stranger was laughinÂ? and dancing the tango Â?till dawn.
And eyes realizeÂ? all alone.

Are you just a shadow stranger?
Or a crazy island killer,
Blackened filler, washed out kneeler?

After closing time the poor people ramble round
the top of the stairs.
Walking through the neighborhood alleys thinking nobody cares.

Demons at your door and youÂ?re laughinÂ?
Cause he wonÂ?t get no more.
Demons at your door and youÂ?re laughinÂ?
Cause he wonÂ?t get no more.

Here come two good girls, Happy. Into the night.
Stranger talking French. Gonna give Â?em a fright.

But the stranger was laughinÂ? and dancing the tango Â?till dawn.
And eyes realizeÂ? all alone.

Are you just a shadow stranger?
Or a crazy island killer,
Blackened filler, washed out kneeler?

Have you heard about the tu-toned stranger?
Have you heard about the tu-toned stranger?
Have you heard about the tu-toned stranger, French from St. Croix
