Feel So Bad Where Do We Go Now But Nowhere Lyrics

Where Do We Go Now But Nowhere Lyrics

I remember a girl so very well

The carnival drums all mad in the air

Grim reapers and skeletons and a missionary bell

O where do we go now but nowhere



In a colonial hotel we fucked up the sun

And then we fucked it down again

Well the sun comes up and the sun goes down

Going round and round to nowhere



The kitten that padded and purred on my lap

Now swipes at my face with the paw of a bear

I turn the other cheek and you lay into that

O where do we go now but nowhere



O wake up, my love, my lover wake up

O wake up, my love, my lover wake up



Across clinical benches with nothing to talk

Breathing tea and biscuits and the Serenity Prayer

While the bones of our child crumble like chalk

O where do we go now but nowhere



I remember a girl so bold and so bright

Loose-limbed and laughing and brazen and bare

Sits gnawing her knuckles in the chemical light

O where do we go now but nowhere



You come for me now with a cake that you've made

Ravaged avenger with a clip in your hair

Full of glass and bleach and my old razorblades

O where do we go now but nowhere



O wake up, my love, my lover wake up

O wake up, my love, my lover wake up



If they'd give me my clothes back then I could go home

From this fresh, this clean, antiseptic air

Behind the locked gates an old donkey moans

O where do we go now but nowhere



Around the duck pond we grimly mope

Gloomily and mournfully we go rounds again

And one more doomed time and without much hope

Going round and around to nowhere



From the balcony we watched the carnival band

The crack of the drum a little child did scare

I can still feel his tiny fingers pressed in my hand

O where do we go now but nowhere



If I could relive one day of my life

If I could relive just a single one

You on the balcony, my future wife

O who could have known, but no one



O wake up, my love, my lover make up

O wake up, my love, my lover make up
