Lyrics of Stranger in the city

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.
