Where Do We Go Now But Nowhere? Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

[Verse 1]
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 fucked up the sun
And then we fucked it down again
Well, the sun comes up and the sun goes down
Going 'round and around 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?

[Chorus]
Oh, wake up, my love
My lover, wake up
Oh, wake up, my love
My lover, wake up

[Verse 2]
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?
