[Verse 1]
I walked through the city limits
Attracted by some force within it
Around a corner where a prophet lay
A wire fence where the children played

[Chorus]
And I was looking for a friend of mine
Yeah, looking for a friend of mine

[Verse 2]
The cars screeched hear the sound on dust
Metallic blue turned red with rust
Stood apart all forgotten youth
Turned on to a knife edged view

[Chorus]
And I was looking for a friend of mine
Yeah, looking for a friend of mine

[Break]
Down the dark streets, the houses looked the same
And I walked round and round
Nail me to a train
Had to get away
Trying to find a way to get out!
[Verse 3]
Four twelve windows, ten in a row
The lights shine - an unearthly glow
No place to stop, no place to go
I guess they died some time ago

[Chorus]
And I was looking for some friends of mine
(And I had no time to waste)
Yeah, looking for some friends of mine
