Looking for a friend to hide me
Looking for a place to stay
But there was no one about, they had all gotten out
My friends had gone away
'Cause I was running in a crowded city
Sleeping in a subway train
Well, I don't wanna know, 'cause it's too long ago
I can't go through that again
And you can't go back
But thinking it's still the same
It ain't easy to stand with your hat in your hand
When you can't get back in the game
Maybe I was late in learning
I was one of the last to know
Too late to learn and nowhere to turn
No place left to go
No need to leave your number
'Cause no one returns the call
When they've beaten you down, they keep you hanging around
They make you feel so small
And you can't go back
But thinking it's still the same
It ain't easy to stand with your hat in your hand
When you can't get back in the game
And you can't go back
But thinking it's still the same
It ain't easy to stand with your hat in your hand
When you can't get back in the game
'Cause I was looking for a friend to hide me
Looking for a place to stay
But there was no one about, they had all gotten out
My friends had gone away
