He gets this feeling
It's there within each time he wakes
This empty feeling
Before too long, he'll start to shake

You see him after midnight on the city streets
He turns away to hide his eyes from those he meets

Strangers in the darkness
You see them everywhere

She'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 crime

She sells her fading beauty to the passers by
She tries to hide that faroff look, it's in her eyes

Strangers in the darkness
You see them everywhere
So many strangers in the darkness
Why is it no one seems to care?

Oh, strangers in the darkness
Strangers in the darkness

They found him after midnight on a city street
A young man with a problem that he couldn't beat

Strangers in the darkness
You see them everywhere
So many strangers in the darkness
Why is it no one seems to care?
