"welcome to nowhere"
was the first thing i heard
the speech was coherent
but the meaning was all a blur
I felt so far from there

faces familiar: they all look the same
it feels like a replay
where only the names have changed
I feel so far away

I've gotta blow this town
before it succeeds in pulling me down

view from a postcard:
a picturesque site
but the view from my two eyes
exposes the dirty side:
disposable way of life

I've gotta blow this town
I'll never let it pull me down

the meaning has hit me
this town that at best feels empty
the bottom is showing
the end is near: let's get going

say goodbye to the broken-hearted
move along is the advice that i give
to the one's that don't want to let go
I'll never look back again upon
the place that inspires me to move along
the life is gone: a waste of time

the meaning has hit me
this town that at best feels empty
the bottom is showing

the end is near: let's get going
