| I walked through the city limits
|
| (Someone talked me in to try and do it)
|
| Attracted by some force within it
|
| (Had to close my eyes to get close to it)
|
| Around a corner where a prophet lay
|
| (Saw the place where she’d had a room to stay)
|
| A wire fence where the children played
|
| (Saw the bed where the body lay)
|
| And I was looking for a friend of mine
|
| (And I had no time to waste)
|
| Yeah, looking for some friends of mine
|
| The cars screeched, hear the sound on dust
|
| (Heard a noise just a car outside)
|
| Metallic blue turned red with rust
|
| (Pulled in close by the building’s side)
|
| In a group all forgotten youth
|
| (Had to think, collect my senses now)
|
| Are turned on to a knife-edged view
|
| (Find some places where my friends don’t know)
|
| And I was looking for a friend of mine
|
| (And I had no time to waste)
|
| Yeah, looking for some friends of mine
|
| Down the dark streets, the houses looked the same
|
| (Getting darker now, faces look the same)
|
| I walked round and round, they nailed me to a tree
|
| (No stomach, torn apart, 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 keep out)
|
| Four twelve windows, ten in a row
|
| (Behind a wall where a room to go)
|
| The light shined like a neon show
|
| (See the deep mellow warmth of the glow)
|
| No place to stop, no place to go
|
| (No time to lose, had to keep on going)
|
| I guess they died some time ago
|
| (I guess they died some time ago)
|
| And I was looking for a friend of mine
|
| (And I had no time to waste)
|
| Yeah, looking for some friends of mine |
