Nowhere Game

(album: The Night Safari - 2023)

Nowhere
Nowhere

A moon bow over bedlam
All of your tranquil
Years oppugned
As a crown of stars
Circles you
Like a Fleischer Brothers cartoon

Summer is dead
In the water
But dare you admit
Your hope is too
And the danger
That keeps you alive
Is the danger
That longs to kill you

No
No two ways
Out of here
Happy Birthday
To the "never get out of this now"
Or the "here you've been"
No two ways
When the nowhere game begins

Nowhere
Nowhere
Nowhere
Nowhere

Dying to be living proof
Of something survived
In your youth
But the lights
Come on for Saturday
And don't go out
Until yours do

No
No two ways
Out of here
Happy Birthday
To the "never get out of this now"
Or the "here you've been"
No two ways
When the nowhere game begins

Nowhere
The "never get out of this now"
Happy Birthday

Nowhere
Nowhere
I know where
Nowhere
