lyrics

A totally random person
walked into the club today
we waited with impatience
for what he had to say
he spoke in words that we could see
were designed to shock
the bouncer took him by the collar
and sent him stumbling down the block

A totally random person
with no place of his own to go
is there somewhere he's meant to be
not as far as I know

A totally random person
appeared at closing time
wanted a six-pack of Corona
a little slice of lime
I showed her quickly to the door
which I prepared to lock
she stayed for 20 minutes more
she wanted just to talk

A totally random person
with no place of her own to go
is there somewhere she's meant to be
not as far as I know

I showed up at the celebration
thinking I would know somebody
I left before the band came on
with my nose all bloody
there's no way to respond
when you're a total nobody
there's no way to respond

Totally random people
filling up the city square
as you and I go about our day
as if we didn't know or care
I'm afraid they'll get in trouble
I'm afraid they'll push too far
nobody knows what they're up to
nobody knows who they are

Totally random people
with no place of their own to go
is there somewhere they're meant to be
not as far as I know
not as far as I know
