I'm From Nowhere

Night sunshine

The ghetto bird chimes 4am

Welcome to the West

A mosquito to kiss your hands and feet

Welcome to this dirty business

I was surprised when you called me a lady

'Cause I'm still not so sure that that's what I wanna be

'Cause I remember the '80s and I remember its puffy sleeves

You say I'm lucky to be here, then maybe you can take this over

And I'll gladly wear the pants into the next century

Past the scanners with ease

Past armies of them who once played in a band

And wasted it complaining like a trust-fund kid

Paying you to play here while they hate you because of it

You say I'm "lucky to be here", but I've been driving for 21 days

What's that nasty sound? The E-brake drags the ground

God, if you only knew what my candied fist could do

The curtain's closing in from all directions

Just answer my question

Perhaps it's best if I continue

Starring me as you, me as you

Starring me as you, me as you

And there you are at the edge of the world

Dangling with my heart a-pounding

Above a gulf of hamstrung promises

You sang like "Auld Lang Syne"

You wanted it so badly that you believed them at the time

Every fashion's flame

Every jet-plane lie

Every second helping of that off-ramp fame we die a little

You're right, I'm from Nowhere

You're right, I'm from Nowhere

You're right, I'm from Nowhere

You're right
