I walked through the city limits   (Someone talked me in 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'd had a room to stay)   A wire fence where the children played   (Saw the bed where her body lay)   And I was looking for a friend of mine   (And I have no time to waste)   Yeah, looking for some friends of mine      The cars screeched hear the sound of dust   (Heard a car, its 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 have no time to waste)   Yeah, looking for some friends of mine      Down the dark streets   (Getting darker now)   The houses looked the same   (Faces look the same)   I walked round and round   (No stomach, torn apart)   They nailed me to a train   (I had to think again)   Trying to find a clue   (Trying to move away)   Trying to find a way to get out   (Had to move away and keep out)      Full twelve windows stand in a row   (Behind a wall where a room to go)   The light shined like a neon show   (See the deep mellow warmth of the 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 have no time to lose)   Yeah, looking for some friends of mine
