Down To Nowhere Lyrics - Songs From The Gutter - Thea Gilmore

Well I am going down to nowhere 

It is not too far from here 

And the rain will be running rings 

Around this tin fort cavalier 

And there are skeletons and wastrels 

As far as the eye can see 

So if you want me baby 

Then know that's where I'll be 

Yea I am going down to nowhere 

Oh it's child's play 

We are turning up our collars 

We are hijacking the day 

You can tell me about your journeys 

You can tell me about your dreams 

But nothing comes close 

To the nowhere that I've seen 

And all you people heading somewhere 

Well, you don't know what you're missing 

'Cause there's nothing like the freedom 

Of a place where no-one listens 

La la la da da da... 

So I am going down to nowhere 

It is steeped in history 

This is highrise living 

For a joke like me 

We are such pretty little failures 

On such paved ways with gold 

And nobody will think twice 

About the nothing that they've sold 

Now all you people who are headed somewhere 

Well, you don't know what you're missing 

'Cause there's nothing like the freedom 

Of a place where no-one listens 

So I am going down to nowhere 

With the dropouts and the bums 

I'm a soldier in a vacuum 

When the darkness comes 

I'm a Vaudeville comedienne 

In a theater of bones 

And it's a laugh a minute 

Where nowhere is your home 

La la la da da da...
