1
I remember a girl so very well
2
The carnival drums all mad in the air
3
Grim reapers and skeletons and a missionary bell
4
O where do we go now but nowhere
5
6
In a colonial hotel we f**ked up the sun
7
And then we f**ked it down again
8
Well the sun comes up and the sun goes down
9
Going round and round to nowhere
10
11
The kitten that padded and purred on my lap
12
Now swipes at my face with the paw of a bear
13
I turn the other cheek and you lay into that
14
O where do we go now but nowhere
15
16
O wake up, my love, my lover wake up
17
O wake up, my love, my lover wake up
18
19
Across clinical benches with nothing to talk
20
Breathing tea and biscuits and the serenity prayer
21
While the bones of our child crumble like chalk
22
O where do we go now but nowhere
23
24
I remember a girl so bold and so bright
25
Loose-limbed and laughing and brazen and bare
26
Sits gnawing her knuckles in the chemical light
27
O where do we go now but nowhere
28
29
You come for me now with a cake that you've made
30
Ravaged avenger with a clip in your hair
31
Full of glass and bleach and my old razorblades
32
O where do we go now but nowhere
33
34
O wake up, my love, my lover wake up
35
O wake up, my love, my lover wake up
36
37
If they'd give me my clothes back then I could go home
38
From this fresh, this clean, antiseptic air
39
Behind the locked gates an old donkey moans
40
O where do we go now but nowhere
41
42
Around the duck pond we grimly moped
43
Gloomily and mournfully we go rounds again
44
And one more doomed time and without much hope
45
Going round and around to nowhere
46
47
From the balcony we watched the carnival band
48
The crack of the drum a little child did scare
49
I can still feel his tiny fingers pressed in my hand
50
O where do we go now but nowhere
51
52
If I could relive one day of my life
53
If I could relive just a single one
54
You on the balcony, my future wife
55
O who could have known, but no one
56
57
O wake up, my love, my lover make up
58
O wake up, my love, my lover make up
