Closer to Nowhere - The Mighty Mighty Bosstones

He slammed a deck of cards on the table wicked hard

And said «Feel free to count them, if you want»

I had better things to do, and knew there’d be fifty-two

I said «I'm good, thanks,» acting nonchalant

He went on from there

He waved them in the air

«A normal deck of playing cards,» he said

«Pick one!»

he barked at me, but do not let me see it

I didn’t pick a card, I left instead

Just a little bit closer to nowhere

A little more somewhere somehow

As close as can be without actually

Being nowhere right now

A little bit closer to nowhere

A little more somewhere somehow

As close as can be without actually

Being nowhere right now

She had a god’s eye up on the beautiful bonsai

She hung the rosary beads around the Buddha’s neck

A dreamcatcher fell and rang a sacred bell

Near the Hindu tapestry that was a wreck

I heard the bell toll when I struck the singing bowl

With a crystal that I found behind the chimes

Flipped through a copy of *Eat, Pray, Love*

I didn’t judge her, no, I don’t sometimes

Just a little bit closer to nowhere

A little more somewhere somehow

As close as can be without actually

Being nowhere right now

A little bit closer to nowhere

A little more somewhere somehow

As close as can be without actually

Being nowhere right now

You’re nowhere right now to me

You’re nowhere right now to me

Bonnie Blackstone and Monday moon beams

I dream of dragons and a rainbow ice cream

Rockets' red glare and chemical warfare

You might be here, but you are nowhere

You are nowhere!

Just a little bit closer to nowhere

A little more somewhere somehow

As close as can be without actually

Being nowhere right now

A little bit closer to nowhere

A little more somewhere somehow

As close as can be without actually

Being nowhere right now
