The Cure ----- Killing an Arab



On 21 December 1978, The Cure released their debut single "Killing an Arab" —a song inspired by Albert Camus' novel The Stranger.

It was recorded at the same time as their first LP in the UK, Three Imaginary Boys (1979), but not included on the album. However, it was included on the band's first US album, Boys Don't Cry (1980).

[Verse 1]
Standing on the beach
With a gun in my hand
Staring at the sky
Staring at the sand
Staring down the barrel
At the arab on the ground
I can see his open mouth
But I hear no sound

[Chorus]
I'm alive
I'm dead
I'm the stranger
Killing an arab

[Verse 2]
I can turn
And walk away
Or I can fire the gun
Staring at the sky
Staring at the sun
Whichever I chose
It amounts to the same
Absolutely nothing
[Chorus]
I'm alive
I'm dead
I'm the stranger
Killing an arab

[Verse 3]
I feel the steel butt jump
Smooth in my hand
Staring at the sea
Staring at the sand
Staring at myself
Reflected in the eyes
Of the dead man on the beach
(The dead man on the beach)

[Chorus]
I'm alive
I'm dead
I'm the stranger
Killing an arab
