Song Lyrics

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...

Gilmore, Thea Gilmore
