Songtext zu 'Interzone' von Joy Division

I walked through the city limits (someone talked me in to do it)
Attracted by some force within it (had to close my eyes to get close to it)
Around a corner where a prophet lay
(Saw the place where she'd a room to stay)
A wire fence where the children played (saw the bed where the body lay)
And I was looking for a friend of mine (and I had no time to waste)
Yeah, looking for some friends of mine

The cars screeched hear the sound on dust (heard a noise just a car outside)
Metallic blue turned red with rust (pulled in close by the building's side)
In a group all forgotten youth (had to think, collect my senses now)
Are turned on to a knife edged view
(Find some places where my friends don't know)
And I was looking for a friend of mine (and I had no time to waste)
Yeah, looking for some friends of mine

Down the dark streets, the houses looked the same
(Getting darker now, faces look the same)
And I walked round and round (no stomach, torn apart)
Nail me to a train (had to think again)
Trying to find a clue, trying to find a way to get out!
(Trying to move away, had to move away and keep out)

Four, twelve windows, ten in a row (behind a wall, well, I looked down low)
The lights shined like a neon show (inserted deep felt a warmer glow)
No place to stop, no place to go (no time to lose, had to keep on going)
I guessed they died some time ago (I guessed they died some time ago)
And I was looking for a friend of mine (and I had no time to waste)
Yeah, looking for some friends of mine
