Hey mister can you tell me
What this world´s about
It might just help me out
I used to be a dreamer
But my dreams have burned
You know how luck can turn

Sometimes it´s hard to find a friendly face
Feel like a stranger to the human race
It´s such a lonely, lonely place

I walk alone in the darkness of the city
Got no place to call home
I might be dyin´
But you can´t hear a sound
´Cause midnight rain is comin´ down
I´m just a stranger, a stranger in this town

Everybody loves a winner
Till the winners lose
And then it´s front page news
Nobody loves a loser
When you´re down and out
You know there ain´t no doubt

I´m just a victim of circumstance
Please mister give me a helping hand
Brother won´t you understand

I walk alone in the darkness of the city
Got no place to call home
I might be dyin´
But you can´t hear a sound
´Cause midnight rain is comin´ down
I´m just a stranger, a stranger in this town

I´m just a victim of circumstance
Please mister give me a helping hand
Brother won´t you understand

I walk alone in the darkness of the city
Got no place to call home
I might be dyin´
But you can´t hear a sound
´Cause midnight rain is comin´ down
I´m just a stranger, a stranger in this town
I mean no danger, I´m a stranger, I´m a stranger
I´m a stranger in this town...
I mean no danger, I´m a stranger...

I´m just a stranger in this town
