Strange Weirdos - Loudon Wainwright III

Isn’t it strange that two strangers

Suddenly don’t feel so strange?

It’s something familiar though this time it’s different

What they’re in for feels like sea change

Isn’t it weird that two weirdos

Can wind up not feeling that weird?

It’s all so momentous yet perfectly normal

Scary but not to be feared

And it starts with a sentence that might last a lifetime

Or it all might just go down in flames

If I let you know me then why would you want me?

But each day I don’t is shame

And each day I don’t is a great shame

Isn’t it great that two people

Together can tear down one wall?

The hand writting is on it it’s not hieroglyphic

That barrier just has to fall

But isn’t it sad that most people

Stay so lonely it’s almost a crime?

We might be strange weirdos but it can’t be normal

To be frightened so much of our time
