There's a stranger in my soul,
I'm lost in transit in a (1)________________ city,

A Morning comes, must be moving on.
All night long my mind's been burning,
Makes me feel such a long, long way from home,
Now ain't it strange that I feel like Philby,
There's a (8)________________ in my (9)________
I'm lost in (10)______________ in a lonesome city
