Oh, strangersHe gets this feeling
It's there within, each time he wakes
This empty feeling
Before too long, he'll start to shakeYou see him after midnight
On the city streets
He turns away to hide his eyes
From those he meetsStrangers in the darkness
You see them everywhereShe's just a young girl
She's left her home for better times
She's made the wrong friends
She's turning to a life of crimeShe sells her fading beauty
To the passers by
She tries to hide
That far-off look, it's in her eyesStrangers in the darkness
You see them everywhere
So many strangers in the darkness
Why is it no one seems to care?Ooh, strangers in the darkness
Strangers in the darknessThey found him after midnight
On a city street
A young man with a problem
That he couldn't beatStrangers in the darkness
You see them everywhere
So many strangers in the darkness
Why is it no one seems to care?
