Lyrics

Interzone

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I walked through the city limits (someone talked me in to do it)

Attracted by some force within it (had to close my eyes to get close to it)

Around a corner where a prophet lay

(Saw the place where she'd a room to stay)

A wire fence where the children played (saw the bed where the body lay)

And I was looking for a friend of mine (and I had no time to waste)

Yeah, looking for some friends of mine

The cars screeched hear the sound on dust (heard a noise just a car outside)

Metallic blue turned red with rust (pulled in close by the building's side)

In a group all forgotten youth (had to think, collect my senses now)

Are turned on to a knife edged view

(Find some places where my friends don't know)

And I was looking for a friend of mine (and I had no time to waste)

Yeah, looking for some friends of mine

Down the dark streets, the houses looked the same

(Getting darker now, faces look the same)

And I walked round and round (no stomach, torn apart)

Nail me to a train (had to think again)

Trying to find a clue, trying to find a way to get out!

(Trying to move away, had to move away and keep out)

Four, twelve windows, ten in a row (behind a wall, well, I looked down low)

The lights shined like a neon show (inserted deep felt a warmer glow)

No place to stop, no place to go (no time to lose, had to keep on going)

I guessed they died some time ago (I guessed they died some time ago)

And I was looking for a friend of mine (and I had no time to waste)

Yeah, looking for some friends of mine
