[Verse 1]

Looking for someone

I guess I'm doing that

Tryin' to find a memory in a dark room

Dirty man, you're looking like a Buddha

I know you well, yeah


[Verse 2]

Keep on a straight line

I don't believe I can

Tryin' to find a needle in a haystack

Chilly wind, you're piercing like a dagger

It hurts me so, yeah


[Chorus]

Nobody needs to discover me

I'm back again

You see the sunlight through the trees

To keep you warm

In peaceful shades of green

Yet in the darkness of my mind

Damascus wasn't far behind


[Interlude]

(Ooh-ooh-ooh)


[Verse 3]

Lost in a subway (Ooh-ooh)

I guess I'm losing time (Ooh-ooh)

There's a man looking at a magazine

You're such a fool, your mumbo jumbo

Never tells me anything, yeah


[Chorus]

Nobody needs to discover me

I'm back again

You feel the ashes from the fire

That kept you warm

Its comfort disappears

But still, the only friend I know

Will never tell me where I'll go (Ooh)


[Instrumental Break]


[Bridge]

(Ooh) Looking for someone

And now I've found myself a name

Come away, leave me

All that I have, I will give

Leave me, leave me

All that I am, I will give


[Instrumental Break]


[Outro]

(Ahh)
