Going Nowhere

Going Nowhere

Nomeansno
(album: Dance Of The Headless Bourgeoisie)

Hey, buddy, you know me, I guess you´ve heard my name

I was the greatest, I had my share of fame
The girls, they loved me, you know I had them all
But now, they don´t love me, now they don´t care at all

I thought I could not fail
I had it by the tail
I thought I owned this town
But now I´m headed down, I´m
Standing by the roadside
Up against a wall
Now I´m going nowhere
Nowhere at all

I was the strongest, I pushed the world around
I stood the tallest, I turned it upside down
I thought I had it, I thought I knew it all
Why couldn´t I see it, the writing on the wall
I wanted everything
I had it on a string
I soared above the ground
But now I´m coming down, I´m
Standing by the roadside
Up against a wall
Now I´m going nowhere
Nowhere at all

Now I´m going nowhere
Nowhere at all
Now I´m going nowhere
Nowhere at all

Hey buddy, you´ve seen me, you know my face and name
Hey, buddy, listen to me, don´t turn and walk away
I thought I had it made
I thought I´d never fade
I thought I´d live forever
I guess I should´ve know better, I´m
Standing by the roadside
Up against a wall
Now I´m going nowhere
Nowhere at all
