People are stra-ange when you're a stranger, 
Faces look ugly when you're alone,
Women seem wicked when you're unwanted, 
Streets are uneve-en when you're down. 

When you're strange [bad word] out of the rain. 
When you're strange no one remembers your name.
When you're strange... when you're strange... when you're stra-ange...

People are stra-ange when you're a stranger, 
Faces look ugly when you're alone, 
Women seem wicked when you're unwanted, 
Streets are uneven when you're down. 

< Guitar solo by Robby Krieger >

When you're strange [bad word] out of the rain. 
When you're strange no one remembers your name. 
When you're strange... when you're strange... when you're stra-ange...
Alright, yeah.

< Piano solo by Ray Manzarek >

When you're stra-ange [bad word] out of the rain}.
When you're strange {no one remembers your name}.
{When you're strange... when you're strange...} when you're stra-ange...
