文本歌词

I remember a girl so very well
The carnival drums all mad in the air
Grim reapers and skeletons and a missionary bell
Oh where do we go now but nowhere
In a colonial hotel we f**ked up the sun
And then we f**ked it down again
Well the sun comes up and the sun goes down
Going round and round to nowhere
The kitten that padded and purred on my lap
Now swipes at my face with the paw of a bear
I turn the other cheek and you lay into that
Oh where do we go now but nowhere
Oh wake up my love my lover wake up
Oh wake up my love my lover wake up
Across clinical benches with nothing to talk
Breathing tea and biscuits and the Serenity Prayer
While the bones of our child crumble like chalk
Oh where do we go now but nowhere
I remember a girl so bold and so bright
Loose-limbed and laughing and brazen and bare
Sits gnawing her knuckles in the chemical light
Oh where do we go now but nowhere
You come for me now with a cake that you've made
Ravaged avenger with a clip in your hair
Full of glass and bleach and my old razorblades
Oh where do we go now but nowhere
Oh wake up my love my lover wake up
Oh wake up my love my lover wake up
If they'd give me my clothes back
Then I could go home
From this fresh this clean antiseptic air
Behind the locked gates an old donkey moans
Oh where do we go now but nowhere
Around the duck pond we grimly mope
Gloomily and mournfully we go rounds again
And one more doomed time and without much hope
Going round and around to nowhere
From the balcony we watched the carnival band
The crack of the drum a little child did scare
I can still feel his fingers pressed in my hand
Oh where do we go now but nowhere
If I could relive one day of my life
If I could relive just a single one
You on the balcony my future wife
Oh who could have known but no one
Oh wake up my love my lover wake up
Wake up my love my lover wake up
Oh wake up my love my lover wake up
Oh wake up my love my lover wake up
