Verse 1
AIt's after midnight in the Dcity of Ebroken Adreams D A
ADown in the alley, GaliDleo meets his Epack of Athieves D A

There's a Dbig car coming like a bat out of Hell
AIt's the dangerous stranger in his Dghostly Elimou---Asine.
Verse 2
AYou get the feeling that he's Drunning in an Eendless Arace D A
ADriving through the city like a Drazor Eacross its Aface D A
EStops on the corner in a flash of flame
He Dcalls to me ('Hey boy, what's your name?)
A D E A A-G#-F#
He's the stranger with a danger if you ever get to play his game.

To Gsee what lies on the F#other side

I want to go for a ride tonight, tonight.

With the dangerous stranger from a station on the other side.
