TITLE. LYRICS

Earlier studio version

Interzone

I walked through the city limits
Attracted by some force within it
Around a corner where a 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

The cars 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
And I walked round and round
Nail 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
