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
