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 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,
|
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.
