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 townyes i am
