john miles - stranger in the city 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 d-mn.
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.
