Stranger On the Town - The Damned

Stranger On the Town Lyrics

Did you ever see a man turned inside out?
He can come and go without a sound
They say okay when they turn you down
'Cause someone's always smiling when they really frownYou turf me out, can't keep me down
'Cause I'm a stranger on the town
Don't put me downAnd 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 bedYou turf me out, can't keep me down
'Cause I'm a stranger on the town, yeah yeah
You turf me out, can't keep me down
'Cause I'm a stranger on the townDon't need me
Won't feed me now
Just say the word
Just smile as I'm thrown out, oohYou turf me out, can't keep me down
'Cause I'm a stranger on the town
AlrightAnd 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 doorYou turf me out, can't keep me down
'Cause I'm a stranger on the town, yeah yeah
You turf me out, can't keep me down
'Cause I'm a stranger on the townI've got some money
So do you love me now?
Now, will you run me out
And they wonder why I shoutEven 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 awaySo I'm a stranger
And though you put me down
You know I, ain't no clownAnd you're a stranger
'Cause I'll see you around
When the chips are down
I'm a stranger on the townOoh, the city's new, the faces change
I know they're different yet they act the same
'Cause I'm a stranger on the townAnd I only want a place to rest my head
If looks could kill I might as well be dead
'Cause I'm a stranger on the town
Yes, I amAnd everyone tries to put you down
Nobody wants to have you around
'Cause I'm a stranger on the town
Yes, I amStranger on the town
Stranger
