My alter-ego, Quasimodo is the alien, the "stranger in a strange land". I often felt I had no right to be here at all. Now I know others feel like that. We are not alone.

Quasimodo - song by Elyce & Benjamin Russell (socan)
He looks quite normal to you or me
His body’s straight enough and no-one can see
The curse that he carries is hidden away
It’s his conscience that’s crooked - oh, get down and pray
This poor devil has nowhere to go
Woe, oh, oh, woe, oh, oh, woe, oh, woe, Quasimodo
A monster from the future or maybe the past
His questioning eyes move a little too fast
A mind full of whirlpools, he could drag us all in
This man is dangerous - oh, watch out for him
He feels lonely like Vincent Van Gogh
Woe, oh, oh, woe, oh, oh, woe, oh, woe, Quasimodo
He knows that he’s different - he thinks it’s a sin
And who would disagree? He doesn’t fit in
He questions ev’rything - his mind full of doubt
He might be infectious - you’d better watch out
He needs someone to love him but no!
Woe, oh, oh, woe, oh, oh, woe, oh, woe, Quasimodo
He makes us uneasy, wakes our primal fear
His warped way of wond’ring is not welcome around here
We hate and fear this man with all of our might
Take the hint, Quasimodo - stay out of our sight
This poor devil has nowhere to go
Woe, oh, oh, woe, oh, oh, woe, oh, woe, Quasimodo
He feels lonely like Vincent Van Gogh
Woe, oh, oh, woe, oh, oh, woe, oh, woe, Quasimodo
