Strangers walking in the city
Such a lonely city they found
Up from the country
Down on the money
They just seem to wander around

Strangers no one seems to notice
No one wants to show them the way
Home to their one room
They have to wander
And that's how it happens each day

Waiting for good luck to find them
Waiting for fortune to call
Not wanting to go back and having to show that
It just didn't work out at all

Strangers, strangers in the city
Such a lonely city, it's true
I hope for your sake
Long as you're living
This never happens to you

Lovers, lovers in the city
Such a happy city it seems
Up in the clouds now
They wander downtown
Full of their own special dreams

Lovers, no one seems to them
And no one needs to show them the way
Home to the one room
Each night, they wander
And that's how they close every day

Waiting for nothing to happen
Waiting for no one to call
Lovers forever will stay close together
And just want each other, that's all, yeah

Lovers, lovers in the city
Such a happy future, they've found
So much in love now
They never notice
The strangers that wander around

Strangers, lovers
Strangers, love-love-lovers
