Stranger In The City

[Verse 1]
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, would you hear my call?
If I stumble now, would you let me fall?
Won't you give me a hand?
Try to understand
That I'm a stranger in the city

[Verse 2]
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
That I'm a stranger in the city, yeah yeah

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 3]
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 get by?
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
