I walked through the city limits Attracted by some force within it Around a corner where some profit lay A wire fence where the children play And I was looking for a friend of mine Yeah, looking for a friend of mine Down the dark streets The houses looked the same I walked round and round They nailed me to a train Had to get away Trying to find a way Had to get away Trying to find a way to get out Car screeched - hear the sound of dust Metallic blue turned red with rust Stood apart all forgotten youth Turned on to a knife-edged view And I was looking for a friend of mine Yeah, looking for a friend of mine Saw twelve windows - ten in a row The lights shine like a neon show No place to stop - no place to go I guess they died some time ago And I was looking for some friends of mine Yeah, looking for some friends of mine
