A song that draws its influence from English band Ultravox! from their 76-78 period.
lyrics
A Man Dressed In Black
I see him walking down the street one day
He turns and looks, looks my way
But as i turn to say
He fades away
He's a stranger in this vicinity
He Looks like an agent of mystery
And in the long dark shadows
He walks the city streets
He's a man, Dressed In Black
And Like the speed of light he moves through you
He's a man, Dressed In Black
Through the wind and rain, i'll still keep searching for you
Down Avenues and boulevards
He flits through Cafe's and City bars
I Thought i saw him smoking
By a burned out car
He's like a ghost who floats from place to place
One day i'm gonna meet him face to face
But like drifting gunsmoke
He fades and leaves no trace
He's a man, Dressed In Black
And Like the speed of light he moves through you
He's a man, Dressed In Black
Through the wind and rain, i'll still keep searching for you
No Face, No Trace, A Silhouette through Mist And Haze
This Stranger, He's Dressed in Black
No Name, Always The Same, He Flickers Through Cinematic Frames
This Stranger, He's Dressed in Black
He's a man, Dressed In Black
And Like the speed of light he moves through you
He's a man, Dressed In Black
Through the wind and rain, i'll still keep searching for you
For You, for you, for you, for you
Stranger, Stranger
Stranger, Stranger
