  • Well, it's a strange way
    The way you look at me
    And it's a hard time
    Time you been givin' me
    Come on and open up
    Open up to me
    So you can realize
    That I could set you free

    Strange ways, twisted days
    Strange ways, twisted days

    Well, it's a strange place
    That you've been livin' in
    And it's a strange line
    You've been deliverin'
    I think I like it
    But I'm not really sure
    Don't wanna to fight it
    Just wanna feel some more

    Strange ways, twisted days
    Strange ways, twisted days

    Strange ways, twisted days

  • Luna Loud from Royal Woods, MichiganAce's solo band plays this song live regularly.
  • Acefan from UsaAccording to setlist.fm, "Strange Ways" was played once: https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/kiss/1975/commodore-ballroom-vancouver-bc-canada-73ca1e31.html
  • Jeff from Williamsport, PaAce's solo in this is AWESOME with all the distortion, and the unique chord progression. Sometimes Ace would play a wrong note and bend the string until the tones matched. For the people who just blindly state that Kiss doesn't have talent, listen to Ace's solo in this. If you have any music knowledge you'll hear the greatness.
  • Axeman from Melbourne, AustraliaJust so every1 knows this ISN'T the KISS version of Strangeways!
  • Francisco from Cudahy, Cai wonder how it would have been live this is my favorite KISS song. Rock on ACE!!!!!!!!!!
  • Andrew from TorontoA drum solo?I did,nt know that,thankfully that did,nt happen.God bless ya Pete but your solo album with Kiss showed the world that you don't even speak the same language.
  • Eddie from Acton, MePeter Criss wanted to do a long drum solo in the middle of this song.
  • Andrew from TorontoI love this tune and album.It is very dark sounding due in part to the muddy production which hampers this record somewhat,but still a great song.You can,t really go wrong with the first three records,until money,substance abuse,over production and egos took over.
