Stranger in the City

[Verse 1]
Stone gray walls all around me
Moving in for the kill
If the streets don't get me
The system will
Down and outs of the corner
In their eyes there's no hope
You try hard not to laugh
But its no joke

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Not when the sands of time
Are falling through your hands
Something you got to understand

[Chorus]
I'm a stranger in the city
Standing in the shadows
Looking for love
Waiting for the night to come

[Verse 2]
City lights feel no anger
City lights feel no pain
If you can't fight you can't win
It's all the same
There's no law, there's no order
In this fight to survive
Getting hard just to keep yourself alive

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Why do I hide the tears of love I'll never show?
It's something I guess I'll never know

[Chorus]
I'm a stranger in the city
Standing in the shadows
Looking for love
Waiting for the night to come
I'm a stranger in the city
Standing in the shadows
Looking for love
Waiting for the night on the lonely side of town

[Bridge]
I'm wanting
I'm all alone here
I don't want to be
Far from here

[Guitar Solo]

[Refrain]
I'm a stranger in the city

[Chorus]
I'm a stranger in the city
Standing in the shadows
Looking for love
Waiting for the night to come
I'm a stranger in the city
Standing in the shadows
Looking for love
Waiting for the night on the lonely side of town

[Outro]
I'm a stranger in the city
Standing in the shadows
Looking for love
Waiting for the night to come
I'm a stranger in the city
Standing in the shadows
Looking for love
Waiting for the night on the lonely side of town
I'm a stranger in the city
Standing in the shadows
Looking for love
Waiting for the night to come
