The original, best version, released under the band name Warsaw…
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
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
Had to get away
Trying to find a way to get out
Saw twelve windows — ten in a row
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
