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 some friends of mine
Car screeched - hear the sound on dust Metallic blue turned red with rust In a group all forgotten youth [or in the Warsaw version: Stood apart all forgotten youth] Turned on to a knife-edged view And I was looking for a friend of mine Yeah, looking for some friends of mine
Down the dark streets The houses looked the same I walked round and round They nailed me to a train Trying to find a clue [or in the Warsaw version: Had to get away] Trying to find a way to get out
Saw twelve windows - ten in a row The lights shine like a neon show [or in the Warsaw version: The lights shine - an unearthly glow] No place to stop - no place to go I guess they died some time ago And I was looking for a friend of mine Yeah, looking for some friends of mine
