[Verse 1]
He's a perfect stranger, like a cross of himself and a fox
He's a feeling arranger and a changer of the ways he talks
He's the unforeseen danger, the keeper of the key to the locks

[Chorus]
Know when you see him
Nothing can free him
Step aside, open wide
He's the loner

[Verse 2]
If you see him in the subway, he'll be down at the end of the car
Watching you move until he knows he knows who you are
When you get off at your station alone, he'll know that you arе

[Chorus]
Know when you see him
Nothing can free him
Step aside, opеn wide
He's the loner

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 3]
There was a woman he knew about a year or so ago
She had something that he needed and he pleaded with her, "Please don't go"
On the day that she left, he died but it did not show
[Chorus]
Know when you see him
Nothing can free him
Step aside, open wide
He's the loner

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Know when you see him
Nothing can free him
Step aside, open wide
It's the loner
