Where Do We Go Now But Nowhere Lyrics

Where Do We Go Now But Nowhere lyrics

********************************



 Where Do We Go Now But Nowhere



 ********************************



 



 



 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
