Down to Nowhere

Well, I am going down to nowhere
 It is not too far from here
 And 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 its 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're 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
