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
