Nowhere Fast

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I've crossed this road before For many years, I'm sure Don't recognize the faces, though That pass me by, I've been Off and on my way again Passed Marsh Road, Atherton Black Mountain Way And bored stale houses on the yellowed plains [Chorus] I'm going off again And for no good reason Year by year, I've achieved some feeling That this time might lead to nowhere fast [Verse 2] I've seen the lot of them From queens to journeymen Bigots and confidants Spoken to and laughed with Destructive catalysts Professionals and loyalists Punk rock pop nihilists Have grown up amongst suburban architects and [Chorus] I'm going off again And for no good reason Year by year, I've achieved some feeling That this time might lead to nowhere fast [Bridge] And who can say it was all deceiving? Or that anybody was misled? I'm not the one to be judging I may not even be who I think I am [Verse 3] The asphalt's my burning bed Has left me invalid Puts me to sleep at night In the arms of some strange no-man's-land I'll be back by the west I need the fucking rest But in the meantime These broken roads and homes ring in my head
