Used to dig this dreamboat city
cool heartbeat to our lovin’ sound
now it cuts me dead - no pity
I’m a stranger in a cold town
All those crazy neon kisses
grand boulevards you led me down
love in the park - drunk wishes
felt so right with you around
Why d’you even bring me here
just to let me go?
Just a stranger
stranger in this broken town
all the faces look away
all the smiles turned upside down
all the streets just pass me by
all the birds don’t make a sound
just a stranger
stranger in this broken town
Got no heart for leavin’ in me
no better place for me to go
twisted pictures - all I see
now these streets are all I know
No reason for staying now
but my legs won’t go
Just a stranger
stranger in this broken town
all the faces look away
all the smiles turned upside down
all the streets just pass me by
all the birds don’t make a sound
just a stranger
stranger in this broken town
Everywhere I look’s just
graffiti billboards of you
boarded-up windows ‘n’ doors
grafitti billboards of you
Just a stranger
stranger in this broken town
all the faces look away
all the smiles turned upside down
all the streets just pass me by
all the birds don’t make a sound
just a stranger
stranger in this broken town
