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)
