Stranger Lyrics - Hollies

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
