Lyrics:

Buildings tower round me like they're waiting for the kill.

For days I haven't eaten and I really do feel ill.

If I cry for help, will you hear my call?

If I stumble now, would you let me fall?

Won't you give me a hand?

Try to understand,

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 for death, would you give me a gun?

If I took your hand, would you turn and run?

Won't you pity me,

Just try to see,

I'm a stranger in the city.



All my friends were saying that 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 money's gone

And I've got no-one.

Friends are nowhere to be seen.



Concrete jungle all around can't hear the birds and bees.

I've walked for miles, I can't believe what happened to the trees.

If I need someone, would you help me to get by?

If I come to you, would you give it a try?

I'm all alone,

So far from home.

I'm a stranger in the city.
