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
