We Are Nowhere and It's Now
If you hate the taste of wineWhy do you drink it 'til you’re blind?And if you swear that there’s no truth and who caresHow come you say it like you’re right?Why are you scared to dream of godWhen it’s salvation that you want?You see stars that clear have been dead for yearsBut the idea just lives on
In our wheels that roll aroundAs we move over the groundAnd all day it seems we’ve been in between the past and future town
We are nowhere, and it’s nowWe are nowhere, and it’s nowI took a ten-minute dream in the passenger seatWhile the world it was flying byI haven’t been gone very longBut it feels like a lifetime
I’ve been sleeping so strange at nightSide effects they don’t advertiseI’ve been sleeping so strangeWith a head full of pesticide
I got no plans and too much timeI feel too restless to unwindI’m always lost in thoughtAs I walk a block to my favorite neon signWhere the waitress looks concernedBut she never says a wordJust turns the jukebox onAnd we hum alongAnd I smile back at her
And my friend comes after workWhen the features start to blurShe says these bars are filled with things that killBy now you probably should have learned
Did you forget that yellow bird?How could you forget your yellow bird?
She took a small silver wreathe and pinned it onto meShe said this one will bring you loveI know if it’s true but I keep it for good luck
