I walked through the city limits Someone talked me in to try 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 had a room to stay A wire fence where the children play 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 And I walked round and round, nail me to a train 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, well I looked down low The lights shined like a neon show Inserted deep, felt a warmer 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
