Lyrics

[Intro]

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

[Verse 1]

And we're not little children

And we know what we want

And the future is certain

Give us time to work it out

[Verse 2]

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 a road to paradise

Here we go

Here we go

[Verse 3]

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

[Chorus]

We're on a road to nowhere

We're on a road to nowhere

We're on a road to nowhere

[Verse 4]

There's a city in my mind

Come along and take that ride

And it's alright

Baby, it's alright

And it's very far away

But it's growing day by day

And it's alright

Baby, it's alright

[Verse 5]

Would you like to come along?

You can help me sing this song

And it's alright

Baby, it's alright

They can tell you what to do

But they'll make a fool of you

And it's alright

Baby, it's alright

[Verse 6]

There's a city in my mind

Come along and take that ride

And it's alright

Baby, it's alright

And it's very far away

But it's growing day by day

And it's alright

Baby, it's alright

[Verse 7]

And would you like to come along?

You can help me sing this song

And it's alright

Baby, it's alright

Oh and they can tell you what to do

But they'll make a fool of you

And it's alright

Baby, it's alright

[Chorus]

We're on a road to nowhere (Hey!)

We're on a road to nowhere (Hey!)

We're on a road to nowhere (Hey, hey!)

[Outro]

We're on a road to nowhere
