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 [bad word] 
If I ask for death, would you give me a gun?
If I took your hand, would you turn [bad word] 
Won't you pity me,
Just try to see,
I'm a stranger in the city.

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 [bad word] to you, would you give it a try?
I'm all alone,
So far from home.
I'm a stranger in the city.
