Nowhere Nights |
There you go again, blowing smoke at some sucker |
'Cause you knew you could |
And I’m sure he’s alright when he’s underneath the right light |
And, hey, at least his hair looks good |
All the downtown boys, they might make a little noise |
But they all talk the same |
And, sure, he could be the pretty thing at the end of your string |
But he ain’t worth much more than his name |
So if you wanna look lonesome, you better get it right |
Hang your head and fade into another nowhere night |
I did my time downtown and I’ll say this about time |
It goes by |
Back then it was just something that passed between |
Feeling hungry and getting high |
I used to walk around like they built the whole damn town |
Up around me when my back was turned |
But then the ground gave way and I spent a couple days |
Face down in everything I had learned |
There was no great revelation, there was no blinding light |
I just stopped sinking in to those nowhere nights |
So I left downtown with the stains of lust and the shards of love |
Still covering my feet |
And I read the book of longing and I followed the parade |
Back down to boogie street |
Now, I’d speak of my despair and the pulse that isn’t there |
But it just wouldn’t be the truth |
'Cause most of the time I can fall asleep just fine |
And I don’t even wonder about you |
We can talk about it now but I was never one to fight |
It feels about as desperate as those nowhere nights |
And you made up your mind |
You’re gonna be the downtown darling |
You might as well throw yourself into it, honey |
Make it your calling |
You can keep your friends amused with all the ugly words you use |
When you start to describe |
All the different shades of blue that came crashing down on you |
When you were nothing to me but the meantime |
If you got any pride left, honey, you’d better keep it out of sight |
Or you’re gonna lose it out there in those nowhere nights |
