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
