Strange New World Lyrics

Once I was down in New Orleans
Mixing Scotch with gasoline
The stench was bad, the juice was clean
You shoulda heard just what I seen

Lightning flashed and split the sky
Thunder rolled from way up high
Blacked out and hit the ground
When I awoke this is what I found

Moving fast, moving clean
Stepping lightly like a dream
Hairs on end, toes curl
It's a strange new world

Like Rip Van Winkle I was amazed
Cuz 20 years was only 20 days I was connected to everyone
They knew me and what I'd done

Way on top but I don't know why
Lord knows I didn't try
The King of Swing, The Duke of Earl
It's a strange new world

I fee alive, I feel free
Evolution got a hold on me
Moving on but standing still
Watch me fly from the windowsill

Taking speed just like I should
Getting while it's good
Got the clams, got the pearl
It's a strange new world
