[Verse 1] I used to practice normal in the shine of a black screen Copying the faces that the adverts said were clean Then I wore my laugh too loud, let the odd idea spill Turns out every strange little spark can light a hill [Pre-Chorus] You bring your sideways stories I’ll bring my offbeat grin We make a better weather When we let the weirdness in [Chorus] Stay strange, stay strange Let your bright odd colors fly Stay strange, stay strange There’s no prize for blending in tonight If your mind takes the scenic route I’ll come wandering there with you Stay strange, stay strange We’re better when we’re weird out loud [Verse 2] You name the clouds like animals, I build a beetle band Someone turns a math problem into dancing with their hands The usual rules look smaller when we share the things we make And every unlikely angle gives the whole wide world a break [Pre-Chorus] You bring your sideways stories I’ll bring my offbeat grin We make a better weather When we let the weirdness in [Bridge] No need to match the pattern No need to color in You start your wild invention I’ll cheer before it wins [Final Chorus] Stay strange, stay strange Let your bright odd colors fly Stay strange, stay strange There’s no prize for blending in tonight If your mind takes the scenic route I’ll come wandering there with you Stay strange, stay strange We’re better when we’re weird out loud [Outro] Weird out loud Me and you
