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
Midnight rain is comin\' down
I\'m just a stranger, a stranger
in this town
I mean no danger, I\'m 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 pain is comin\' down
Midnight pain is coming down
I\'m just a stranger, I\'m 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
