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)
