I walked through the city limits,
Attracted by some force within it,
Around the corner where some prophet lay,
A wire fence where the children played,
And I was looking for a friend of mine.
Yeah, looking for a friend of mine.
The car screeched hear the sound on dust,
Metallic blue turned red with rust,
In a group all forgotten youth,
Are turned on to a knife edged view.
And I was looking for a friend of mine,
Yeah, looking for a friend of mine.
Down the dark streets, the houses looked the same,
Getting darker now, faces look the same,
And I walked round and round.
No stomach, torn apart,
Nail me to a train.
Had to think again,
Trying to find a clue, trying to find a way to get out.
Trying to move away, had to move away and get out.
Four, twelve windows, ten in a row,
The lights shined like a neon show,
No place to stop, no place to go,
No time to lose, had to keep on going,
I guess they died some time ago.
And I was looking for some friends of mine
