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