Stranger on the Town
Did you ever see a man turned inside out?
He can come and go without a sound
They say okay when they turn you down
'Cos someone's always smiling when they really frown
You turf me out, can't keep me down
'Cos I'm a stranger on the town
Don't put me down
And I only want a place to rest my head
But if looks could kill, I might as well be dead
Get me on my feet, take me to the door
I'll face the law, might even get a bed
You turf me out, can't keep me down
'Cos I'm a stranger on the town, yeah, yeah
You turf me out, can't keep me down
'Cos I'm a stranger on the town
Don't need me
Won't feed me now
Just say the word
Just smile as I'm thrown out
Woo!
You turf me out, can't keep me down
'Cos I'm a stranger on the town, alright!
And the city's new, so the faces change
I know they're different, yet they act the same
I've read the script and I know the score
I know it's only time before I'm shown the door
You turf me out, can't keep me down
'Cos I'm a stranger on the town
You turf me out, can't keep me down
'Cos I'm a stranger on the town
I've got some money
So do you love me now?
Now will you run me out?
And they wonder why I shout
Even in a crowd, when you're all alone
It's so far from home, there's faces all around
They stare mean and proud, you've gotta get away
You gotta get away
So I'm a stranger
And though you put me down, you know I ain't no clown
And you're a stranger
'Cause I'll see you around
When the chips are down
I'm a stranger on the town
Ooh, the city's new, the faces change
I know they're different, yet they act the same
'Cos I'm a stranger on the town
And I only wanna place to rest my head
If looks could kill, I might as well be dead
'Cos I'm a stranger on the town, yes I am
And everyone tries to put you down
Nobody wants to have you around
'Cos I'm a stranger on the town, yes I am
Stranger on the town
Stranger
He can come and go without a sound
They say okay when they turn you down
'Cos someone's always smiling when they really frown
You turf me out, can't keep me down
'Cos I'm a stranger on the town
Don't put me down
And I only want a place to rest my head
But if looks could kill, I might as well be dead
Get me on my feet, take me to the door
I'll face the law, might even get a bed
You turf me out, can't keep me down
'Cos I'm a stranger on the town, yeah, yeah
You turf me out, can't keep me down
'Cos I'm a stranger on the town
Don't need me
Won't feed me now
Just say the word
Just smile as I'm thrown out
Woo!
You turf me out, can't keep me down
'Cos I'm a stranger on the town, alright!
And the city's new, so the faces change
I know they're different, yet they act the same
I've read the script and I know the score
I know it's only time before I'm shown the door
You turf me out, can't keep me down
'Cos I'm a stranger on the town
You turf me out, can't keep me down

'Cos I'm a stranger on the town, yes I am
And everyone tries to put you down
Nobody wants to have you around
'Cos I'm a stranger on the town, yes I am
Stranger on the town
Stranger
