Standing on the beach with a gun in my hand 
Staring at the sea, staring at the sand 
Staring down the barrel at the Arab on the ground 
See his open mouth but I hear no sound  
 
Chorus: 
I'm alive {Bass part moves up to the A string} 
I'm dead  
I am the Stranger {Bass moves back down to low E string} 
Killing an Arab 
 
I can turn and walk away or I can fire the gun 
Staring at the sky, staring at the sun 
Whichever I choose it amounts to the same 
Absolutely nothing 
(Repeat chorus) 
 
Feel the steel butt jump Smooth in my hand 
Staring at the sea, staring at the sand 
Staring at myself reflected in the eyes 
Of the dead man on the beach 
(Repeat chorus)
