On this side of the divided globe, the line 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 globe, 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
Ooh
A friend of my world too
A friend of my world too
A friend of my world too
