Where Do All My Friends Go?

When lightning strikes and we are sleeping

When everyone around is dreaming

When children aren't children no more

When parents aren't behind the door

When football's over and the beer's gone

When T.V. set no longer turns on

(Tell me where my friends go)

If I could float and drift forever

I'd join the shattered dreams together

I'd spy upon the disbelievers

And scatter them into the seasons

When winter comes I'd keep on moving

To fill the cup of understanding

I'd fly...to hidden places in the sky

(Tell me where my friends go)

(Chorus)

My hesitation - is strong today

The indications - all point away

To something better - for everyone

Has something gone astray

I'll follow you until I die

With outstretched arms into the sky

when all is aid and come undone

The words will come, the words will come

We'll chase the ghosts into the shadows

The spectres watch through every window

We'll run like dogs and jump the fences

And howl at men behind their faces

We'll bark at night and wake the neighbors

And tell the world of our adventures

(Tell me where my friends go)

(Chorus)

My revelations - have lost control

My better judgement - has gone away

Our evolution is full of holes

Has something gone astray

(Tell me where our friends go)
