Kasey Anderson - Nowhere Nights lyrics

There you go again, blowing smoke at some s**er 'Cause you knew you could And I'm sure he's alright when he's underneath the right light And, hey, at least his hair looks good All the downtown boys, they might make a little noise But they all talk the same And, sure, he could be the pretty thing at the end of your string But he ain't worth much more than his name So if you wanna look lonesome, you better get it right Hang your head and fade into another nowhere night I did my time downtown and I'll say this about time It goes by Back then it was just something that pa**ed between Feeling hungry and getting high I used to walk around like they built the whole damn town Up around me when my back was turned But then the ground gave way and I spent a couple days Face down in everything I had learned There was no great revelation, there was no blinding light I just stopped sinking in to those nowhere nights So I left downtown with the stains of lust and the shards of love Still covering my feet And I read the book of longing and I followed the parade Back down to boogie street Now, I'd speak of my despair and the pulse that isn't there But it just wouldn't be the truth 'Cause most of the time I can fall asleep just fine And I don't even wonder about you We can talk about it now but I was never one to fight It feels about as desperate as those nowhere nights And you made up your mind You're gonna be the downtown darling You might as well throw yourself into it, honey Make it your calling You can keep your friends amused with all the ugly words you use When you start to describe All the different shades of blue that came crashing down on you When you were nothing to me but the meantime If you got any pride left, honey, you'd better keep it out of sight Or you're gonna lose it out there in those nowhere nights
