| 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 |
