I walked round and round
Metallic blue turned red with rust
(No time to lose, had to keep on going)
The cars screeched hear the sound of dust
(And I have no time to waste)
(Find some places where my friends don't know)
Are turned on to a knife edged view
(Trying to move away)
(And I have no time to lose)
(Saw the place where she'd had a room to stay)
A wire fence where the children played
(No stomach, torn apart)
(Pulled in close by the building's side)
Around a corner where a Prophet lay
Trying to find a way to get out
(I guess they died some time ago)
The light shined like a neon show
The houses looked the same
(Getting darker now)
And I was looking for a friend of mine
(See the deep mellow warmth of the glow)
Full twelve windows stand in a row
(Behind a wall where a room to go)
(And I have no time to waste)
(Saw the bed where her body lay)
(I had to think again)
Trying to find a clue
(Had to move away and keep out)
Yeah, looking for some friends of mine
Yeah, looking for some friends of mine
(Faces look the same)
In a group all forgotten youth
I guess they died some time ago
They nailed me to a train
(Had to close my eyes to get close to it)
No place to stop, no place to go
(Heard a car, its just a car outside)
And I was looking for a friend of mine
(Had to think, collect my senses now)
Down the dark streets
Attracted by some force within it
And I was looking for a friend of mine
