I remember a girl so very well   The carnival drums all mad in the air   Grim reapers and skeletons and a missionary bell   O 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 round 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   O where do we go now but nowhere      O wake up, my love, my lover wake up   O wake up, my love, my lover wake up      Across clinical benches with nothing to talk   Breathing tea and biscuits and the serenity prayer   While the bones of our child crumble like chalk   O 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   O 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   O where do we go now but nowhere      O wake up, my love, my lover wake up   O wake up, my love, my lover wake up      If they'd give me my clothes back then I could go home   From this fresh, this clean, antiseptic air   Behind the locked gates an old donkey moans   O where do we go now but nowhere      Around the duck pond we grimly moped   Gloomily and mournfully we go rounds again   And one more doomed time and without much hope   Going round and around to nowhere      From the balcony we watched the carnival band   The crack of the drum a little child did scare   I can still feel his tiny fingers pressed in my hand   O where do we go now but nowhere      If I could relive one day of my life   If I could relive just a single one   You on the balcony, my future wife   O who could have known, but no one      O wake up, my love, my lover make up   O wake up, my love, my lover make up
