Down to Nowhere - Thea Gilmore

Well I am going down to nowhere

Its not too far from here

The rain’ll be running rings

Around this tin pot cavalier

And there are skeletons and wastrels

As far as the eye can see

So if you want me baby

Then nowhere’s where I’ll be Yeah, I am going down to nowhere

Oh it’s child' s play

We are turning up our collars

We are hijacking the day

And you can tell me about your journeys

You can tell me all 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

So I am going down to nowhere

It is steeped in history

This is high-rise living for a Joke like me We are such pretty little failures

On streets paved with fools gold

And no one will think twice about

The nothing that they’ve sold

And all you people who are 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

So I am going down to nowhere

With the drop-outs and the bums

I’m a soldier of the vacuum

When the darkness comes

I’m a vaudeville comedian

In a theatre of bones

And it’s a laugh a minute

When nowhere is your home
