You threw the keys to the kingdom
Over a skyscraper wall
Sowing seeds somewhere obsolete
In the everlasting nothing

Spent a long night in the slipstream
I thought I'd crash and burn if I came down
When I did, I found a friend to take me home
In the everlasting nothing

Friends I've known come and gone
Like a soldier with no song
Still I tried to get back home
In the everlasting nothing

I woke up in a movie
Didn't know if it was my whole life
When it ended, I laughed before I cried
In the everlasting nothing

And I washed up on the shoreline
Everyone was waiting there for me
Like a standing ovation for the funeral of the sun
In the everlasting nothing

Friends I've known come and gone
Like a soldier with no song
Still I'll try to get back home
In the everlasting nothing

Nowhere child, keep on running
Nowhere child, keep on running
In your time you'll find something
In the everlasting nothing

Nowhere child, keep on running
Nowhere child, keep on running
In your time you'll find something
In the everlasting nothing

Nowhere child, keep on running
Nowhere child, keep on running
In your time you'll find something
In the everlasting nothing



(live version)

When the answer is a question (or, turns into a question)
We're starting back where you began (or, I'll end up back where I began)
So it seems somewhere obsolete
In the everlasting nothing

Spent a long night in the slipstream
I thought I'd crash and burn when I came down
When I did, I found a friend to take me home
In the everlasting nothing

Peace I know, come and go
Like a soldier with no song
Should I try to get back home
To the everlasting nothing?

Though we're tired, keep on running
Though we're tired, keep on running
When you're tired, you'll find something
In the everlasting nothing

Though we're tired, keep on running
Though we're tired, keep on running
When you're tired, you'll find something
In the everlasting nothing

Spent a long night in the slipstream
I thought I'd crash and burn if I came down
When I did, I found a friend to take me home
In the everlasting nothing

Though we're tired, keep on running
Though we're tired, keep on running
When you're tired, you'll find something
In the everlasting nothing
