There's a light on the street and it lures you in from the dark
There's a girl on the corner in the blistering heat and she calls your name from afar
Hey mister, will you find my sister?
You know that I miss her, and you promised that I'd see her again
Again
Our apprehension never did us any favours
But didn't mother ever warn you about strangers?
Our apprehension never did us any favours
But didn't mother ever warn you about strangers?
There's a bloke out boozing, I can see him from my house
He takes a couple of steps towards me and falls into his car
His boot meets the pedal, his wheels meet the tarmac
His dented forehead and a dented bollard
Remember to this day
You try to prove that you're okay
But you'll never wash the tears away
'Cause you don't go out in the rain
Our apprehension never did us any favours
But didn't mother ever warn you about strangers?
Our apprehension didn't do us any favours
Because your mother never warned you about strangers
She never warned you about strangers
No, she never warned you about strangers
