lyrics

I arrived
yesterday
gridlocked streets
cold and grey.
I loved you once
you let me down.
I'm a stranger
a stranger in my own hometown.


I'm passing through
I never stay
I cannot wait to get away
junkyard dogs
chase me down
I'm a stranger
a stranger in my own hometown.

I sit in my hotel,
I look outside
and I see hell.
I'm a stranger, a stranger in my own hometown


I can't get served
can't get a seat
I queue for hours
just to eat.
Buildings fall
beggars hound.
I'm a stranger
a stranger in my own hometown.

I used to live
over there
I said hello
and they just stared
I said goodbye
and they just scowled
I'm a stranger, a stranger in my own hometown
