"Road To Nowhere" 

[ from the album "Little Creatures" (1985) ] 

Lyrics: 

Well we know where we're going
But we don't know where we've been
And we know what we're knowing
But we can't say what we've seen
And we're not little children
And we know what we want
And the future is certain
Give us time to work it out 

Ye-ah 

We're on a road to nowhere
Come on inside
Taking that ride to nowhere
We'll take that ride 

I'm feeling okay this morning
And you know
We're on the road to paradise
Here we go, here we go 

We're on a ride to nowhere
Come on inside
Taking that ride to nowhere
We'll take that ride 

Maybe you wonder where you are
I don't care
Here is where time is on our side
Take you there, take you there 

We're on a road to nowhere (ha! ha!)
We're on a road to nowhere (ha! ha!)
We're on a road to nowhere (ha! ha!) 

There's a city in my mind
Come along and take that ride
And it's all right, baby, it's all right 

And it's very far away
But it's growing day by day
And it's all right, baby, it's all right 

Would you like to come along
You can help me sing this song
And it's all right, baby, it's all right 

They can tell you what to do
But they'll make a fool of you
And it's all right, baby, it's all right 

There's a city in my mind
Come along and take that ride
And it's all right, baby, it's all right 

And it's very far away
But it's growing day by day
And it's all right, baby, it's all right 

And would you like to come along
You can help me sing this song
And it's all right, baby, it's all right 

They can tell you what to do
But they'll make a fool of you
And it's all right, baby, it's all right 

We're on a road to nowhere (hey!)
We're on a road to nowhere (heugh!)
We're on a road to nowhere (ha! ha!) 

We're on a road to nowhere
