Buildings tower round me like they're waitin' for the kill
The days I haven't eaten and I really do feel ill
If I cry for help, would you hear my call?
If I stumble now, would you let me fall?
Won't you give me your hand, try to understand
That I'm a stranger in the city
Stuck inside these streets, it's like a human traffic jam
People walk right over me now, they don't give a damn
If I ask again, would you give me your gun?
If I took your hand, would you turn and run?
What you give me?
Just a gun

Just try to see
That I'm a stranger in the city
All my friends were sayin'
That they're
That they're
That they're
The streets were paved with gold
I couldn't wait to get there from the stories I'd been told
There's everything that I could want
It sounded like a dream
But my mind is gone and I've got no one
There's nowhere to be seen
It's been a long time since I went out to party
And I can't even breathe
walking for miles
if I need someone
Would you help me get back?
If I come to you
Would you give it a try?
I'm all alone, so far from home
Well, I'm a stranger in the city
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
