"Going Nowhere" lyrics
"Going Nowhere"
Some days I wake up so dissapointed
To see my breath in the air
But it's all just vapour, I mean the whole thing
But I get up 'cause it's there
And I can function, you'd never notice
My tank is caked with old oil
But I feel like every wheel is punctured, deflating slowly
Till I'm just grinding the soil
Let the cake go bad, let the cards fall down
Hate to hate this drag, I keep pulling around
Life's a date you had just for the sake of going out
I don't wanna wake up dead in somebody's dream
Going nowhere
So whose are all the hands tugging hard at my seams?
Going nowhere
Like a giant in Japan or a sieve in the sea
Going nowhere
Oh, mirror on my wall, show me something but me
Going nowhere
Let's buy a farmhouse, let's buy an igloo
Middle finger up to the grid
Get a pack of dogs we won't have to train much
Just so they don't eat the kids
We'll go cold swimming, baring, grinning
We'll make a shrine of our souls
Pick our own gods like sweets at the movies
Dump all our tech in a hole
Let the cake go bad, let the cards fall down
Hate to hate this drag, I keep pulling around
Life's a date you had just for the sake of going out
I don't wanna wake up dead in somebody's dream
Going nowhere
So whose are all the hands tugging hard at my seams?
Going nowhere
Like a giant in Japan or a sieve in the sea
Going nowhere
Oh, mirror on my wall show me something but me
Going nowhere
I'm dead in somebody's dream
Going nowhere
There's hands tugging at my seams
Going nowhere
I'm like a sieve in the sea
Going nowhere
Oh, mirror, show me something but me
Going nowhere
I'm dead in somebody's dream
Going nowhere
There's hands tugging at my seams
Going nowhere
I'm like a sieve in the sea
Going nowhere
Oh, mirror, show me something but me
Going nowhere
