Going Nowhere

He waved hello silent like a mime There's no changing my mind I won't walk the stairs with you tonight Going nowhere The clock moved a quarter of a turn The time it took a cigarette to burn She said you got a lot of things to learn Going nowhere Saw you move a certain way Missed you a lot Return to this abandoned place Should a been forgot Echoes drown the conversation out Echoes that only seem to bring about A silent expression Things you may allow Going nowhere The steps made a pattern I'd never seen I felt like a kid of six or seventeen I was off in some empty day dream Going nowhere It's dead and gone matter of fact Maybe for the best Said some things you can't take back Honestly I guess The old records Sitting on the floor The ones I can't Put on anymore He walked over to her like before Going nowhere Going nowhere Going nowhere
