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 mope  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
