Nobody Really Knows

We stood outside the city,
six feet in the snow,
and everyone was stranded
and I stopped to say, "hello".
Everybody kept on walking
who didn't have no place to go.
Everybody kept on walking
that had no place to go,
and everybody's talking
but nobody really knows,
nobody really knows.

And say, I think you'll stay awhile,
you know just where it's at.
Pull up a chair and
stay awhile,
we'll give ya' tit for tat.
I said, "You know something,
I'm not sure I really like that."
I said, "You know something,
I believe I'll grab my coat and hat."
I got outside,
down in the street below, and everybody started walking
that didn't have no place to go,
and everybody's talking
but nobody, nobody really know, no,
nobody really know.

And say you think "you're really good for us.
We know you are and it's true,
ain't nobody can do more for you
than we can do.
We can give ya' money,
watch you spend it all the time,
and make sure
you don't
ride on down the line."
I said, "I believe I won't
'cause I ain't got no place to go."
I'm just stranded and I'm walking,
and I don't have no place to go,
and everybody's talking
but nobody, nobody really know,
nobody really know.

And they say, "Sing the song one more time
'cause I really believe I know what it means,
I was with you last night
when you wrote it in your dreams."
I said, "Is that right?
How
can you be so complete?
Y', you can't stop talking
every time you move your feet."
You know that we're all stranded,
we ain't got no place to go.
We are stranded here
in the city in the snow,
and everybody's talking
but nobody really knows,
nobody really know.
Everybody's talking,
everybody's talking,
everybody's talking,
and everybody's talking but
nobody really know.
Everybody's talking but
nobody, nobody really know,
they just pretend they know.
Nobody really know.
