did you ever see a man turned inside out
he can come and go without a sound
they say ok when they turn you down
`cos someones always smiling when they really frown
chorus
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
repeat chorus twice
don`t need me, won`t feed me now
just say the word, just smile as i`m thrown out
repeat chorus
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
repeat chorus twice
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
aint no clown,and you`re a stranger
`cause I`ll see you around when the chips are down
and i`m a stranger on the town....
ooh 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
