Where will my friends go?
When the lights go out tonight
When women in white prick their eyes and carry them into the night

Down to the backstreets
Black and swelled with rain
I walk the alleys by myself while voices taunt my name

Passing by
Caught your eye
Feeling rather strange
Saw you once
Long ago
I think I knew your name?
Changes come
I succumb
To the tide of time
Sinking out
In the flood
Cut down in our prime

Now I'm alone
Patiently in wait
To be called to the front by those in charge
Who regulate my fate

And where have my friends gone?
Is my refrain so bittersweet
But everyone tells me silly lies
As if I need deceit

Passing by
Caught your eye
Feeling rather strange
Saw you once
Long ago
I think I knew your name?
Changes come
I succumb
To the tide of time
Sinking out
In the flood
Cut down in our prime

I never saw her coming
