Talking Heads "Road To Nowhere"


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

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

Hmm, well done. I think it was a great ideia to post one lyric. To tell the truth... I liked the song. ;)**

Who is the song by? I really liked the lyrics..it´s great that you were able to find lyrics that suited the "On The Road" theme.

hey...that isn't my "On the road" work...I just posted this Song (by the way Maria, the song is from the band The Talking Heads) because when Allyson spooked of the theme this song just cannot get out of my mind. The photo is mine it was taken with my cell phone one night on the way home after a shift from 15.30 to 0.00(!) at the hotel i used to work.

Oh alright, this isn't your On the Road work but it is something! And the song trully makes me think. Mostly, the chorus.
