I walked through the city limits
(Someone talked me in to 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 friends of mine

(And I had no time to lose)
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 lose)
Yeah, looking for some friends of mine


Down the dark streets, the houses looked the same,
(Getting darker now, faces look the same)
And I walked round and round

(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 keep out)


For twelve windows stand 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 lose)
Yeah, looking for some friends of mine
