Did you ever see a man turned inside out

He can come and go without a sound

They say ok when they turn you down

'Cos someones always smiling when they really frown



You turf me out can't keep me down

'Cos I'm a stranger on the town

Don't put me down



And I only want a place to rest my head

But if looks could kill I might as well be dead

Get me on my feet take me to the door

I'll face the law might even get a bed



You turf me out can't keep me down

'Cos I'm a stranger on the town

Don't put me down

You turf me out can't keep me down

'Cos I'm a stranger on the town

Don't put me down



Don't need me

Won't feed me now

Just say the word

Just smile as I'm thrown out



You turf me out can't keep me down

'Cos I'm a stranger on the town

Don't put me down



And the city's new so the faces change

I know they're different yet they act the same

I've read the script and I know the score

I know it's only time before I'm shown the door



You turf me out can't keep me down

'Cos I'm a stranger on the town

Don't put me down

You turf me out can't keep me down

'Cos I'm a stranger on the town

Don't put me down



I've got some money

So do you love me now?

Now will you run me out

And they wonder why I shout



Even in a crowd when you're all alone

It's so far from home there's faces all around

They stare mean and proud you've gotta get away

You gotta get away



So I'm a stranger

And though you put me down you know I

Aint no clown and you're a stranger

'Cause I'll see you around

When the chips are down



And I'm a stranger on the town....



Ooh ooh the city's new the faces change

I know they're different yet they act the same



'Cos I'm a stranger on the town



And I only wanna place to rest my head

If looks could kill I might as well be dead



'Cos Im a stranger on the town

Yes I am



And everyone tries to put you down

Nobody wants to have you around



'Cos I'm a stranger on the town

Yes I am
