[Verse 1] 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) [Chorus] And I was looking for some friends of mine (And I had no time to waste) Yeah, looking for some friends of mine [Verse 2] 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) [Chorus] And I was looking for some friends 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) 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 keep out) [Verse 3] 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) [Chorus] And I was looking for some friends of mine (And I had no time to waste) Yeah, looking for some friends of mine
