[Verse 1]
Where are my friends? Now my lover's gone
Did they step out of rhythm for some other song?
You should be here with me

[Verse 2]
Where are my friends? Is it my concern?
Did they catch some wild wisdom I could never learn?
I want to get back to the general pop, I loved a few people but not a lot
Anyhow, I'm ready now

[Chorus]
At the heart of the matter
At the heart of the matter

[Verse 3]
Wherе are my friends? They wеre never me
Never went full-sail against the enemy
Dying for love and cracking up wise, tearing them down with those sun-shot eyes
Anyway, I'm here today

[Chorus]
At the heart of the matter
At the heart of the matter

[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
Where are my friends? Somewhere up the trail?
Where the wind gets wild and reason fails
Stumbling blind and half-awake, calling my name, oh for mercy's sake
You should be here with me

[Chorus]
At the heart of the matter
At the heart of the matter
At the heart of the matter
At the heart of the matter
