Hollies

Hollies - Stranger lyrics

(Clarke / Sylvester / Hicks)

Down down down town, east side of the river

bowery boys are living off the street

There stands a stranger all dressed in black

He's looking for someone - he's gonna knife 'em in the back

Hit man, G-man, con man, watch it man, he might be from the CIA

Sneaky Pete's using his feet, getting off the street 'cos

he's got something to hide

Danger, there's a stranger

intruding in your own backyard

But stranger, there's a danger

Don't come across nobody hard

So tough mixing it rough down in Harlem

There's no honky boys for miles around

but there's that stranger all dressed in white

He's looking for someone

He's gonna show 'em the light, yeah

He's gonna show 'em the light, oh yeah

Don't feel safe using the face of Fifth Avenue

Pin stripe suits ain't no disguise if you're not a man that's true

Hit man, G-man, con man, watch it man, he might be from the CIA

Sneaky Pete's using his feet, getting off the street 'cos

he's got something to hide

chorus
