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)
