Friends of My World

On this side of the divided room the light grows thin

My world trembles with the sounds of them

They move through the night, they run like fugitives

Escaping with only just their lives

You're friends of my world

You're brides and grooms

Much too soon

You're friends of my world

You pay as you go

You're in my show

On this side of the divided room the light grows dim

In next to no time we're all involved again

And science takes another man

Too frail and scared to know what has possessed him

You're friends of my world

You're this and that

Mud on the doormat

You're friends of my world

You came as you are

You left in my car

Oh baby you are so divine

Across the desert, across the line

And the Sphinx that lies in Egypt's view

That's a friend of my world too

A friend of my world too

A friend of my world too

A friend of my world too
