On this side of the divided room the light grows thin My world trembles with the sounds of them They move through the night, they run like fugitives Escaping with only just their lives
You're friends of my world You're brides and grooms Much too soon You're friends of my world You pay as you go You're in my show
On this side of the divided room the light grows dim In next to no time we're all involved again And science takes another man Too frail and scared to know what has possessed him
You're friends of my world You're this and that Mud on the doormat You're friends of my world You came as you are You left in my car
Oh baby you are so divine Across the desert, across the line And the Sphinx that lies in Egypt's view That's a friend of my world too
A friend of my world too A friend of my world too A friend of my world too
