Strangered in the Night

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers (alternately styled Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers) is an American rock band from Gainesville, Florida. Formed in 1976, the band originally comprised Tom Petty (lead singer, guitar), Mike Campbell (lead guitarist), Ron Blair (bass guitar), Stan Lynch (drums), and Benmont Tench (keyboards). The band largely maintained this lineup, with a few exceptions. In 1981, Blair, tired of the touring lifestyle, left the band. His replacement, Howie Epstein, stayed with the band for the next two decades. In 1991, Scott Thurston joined the band as a multi-instrumentalist—mostly on rhythm guitar and second keyboards.

Well it was dark at midnight 
There was hardly any moon 
And no one really saw much 
No one was really sure 
But something didn't seem right 
Something seemed kinda queer 
The roar turned into whispers 
Everyone stood there 

When the sounds fit the night 
Something hiding from the light 
Like strangers in the night 

Well I didn't see them shotguns 
I didn't see no knife 
I saw this crazy black guy 
With a demon in his eyes 
I heard him say "white man" 
I've seen that silver cue 
You don't remember me well 
But I remember you 

When the sounds fit the night 
Something hiding from the light 
Like strangers in the night 

Well the knife just left his fingers 
As the black guy took his aim 
White guys head exploded 
My God how much pain 
And then everybody scattered 
I heard some woman scream 
"God damn you old black bastard 
You've blown away my dreams" 

When the sounds fit the night 
Something hiding from the light 
Like strangers in the night
