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
