Where Do We Go Now But Nowhere
I remember a girl so very wellThe carnival drums all mad in the airGrim reapers and skeletons and a missionary bellO where do we go now but nowhere
In a colonial hotel we fucked up the sunAnd then we fucked it down againWell the sun comes up and the sun goes downGoing round and round to nowhere
The kitten that padded and purred on my lapNow swipes at my face with the paw of a bearI turn the other cheek and you lay into thatO where do we go now but nowhere
O wake up, my love, my lover wake upO wake up, my love, my lover wake up
Across clinical benches with nothing to talkBreathing tea and biscuits and the Serenity PrayerWhile the bones of our child crumble like chalkO where do we go now but nowhere
I remember a girl so bold and so brightLoose-limbed and laughing and brazen and bareSits gnawing her knuckles in the chemical lightO where do we go now but nowhere
You come for me now with a cake that you've madeRavaged avenger with a clip in your hairFull of glass and bleach and my old razorbladesO where do we go now but nowhere
O wake up, my love, my lover wake upO wake up, my love, my lover wake up
If they'd give me my clothes back then I could go homeFrom this fresh, this clean, antiseptic airBehind the locked gates an old donkey moansO where do we go now but nowhere
Around the duck pond we grimly mopeGloomily and mournfully we go rounds againAnd one more doomed time and without much hopeGoing round and around to nowhere
From the balcony we watched the carnival bandThe crack of the drum a little child did scareI can still feel his tiny fingers pressed in my handO where do we go now but nowhere
If I could relive one day of my lifeIf I could relive just a single oneYou on the balcony, my future wifeO who could have known, but no one
O wake up, my love, my lover make upO wake up, my love, my lover make up
