Race To Nowhere Songtext
von Mr Bruce

You start to think about the end
(Before the curtains up)
Don′t you know that I can see you pretend
That you don't give one fuck
Chin down, shoulders back
(Think of who you could have been with a look like that)
Hand down index up
(Nothing can cover the fact that you′re mixed up)

I've listened to what you've said
And still I don′t what′s going on in your head
I try to change your mind
I wouldn't bother that′d be a waste of my time


You say
"Too little too late"
I've got a feeling in my gut that I′m gonna be irate
Lemme get this straight
From me you want to extricate
Go look it up
From me you want to extricate
Go look it up
From me you want to extricate
Extricate
Extricate

We're on a race to nowhere
(I can see that you don′t care)
You look at me and just say "take me there"
You just say "take me there"

We're on a race to nowhere
(I can see that you don't care)
You look at me and just say "take me there"
You just say "take me there"

I′m not going to be the man to drive us
Foot down to the floor to the brink of what?
You don′t know what's what
When it comes to the mess of a mindset you′ve now got
You've flipped the tables
Unhinged the doors
You′ve cut the cables turned down the drawers
You don't begin to know what - how - why
You don′t explain you don't justify


So I'm left thinking about the darkest thoughts
Of other people lips and other peoples hips
I replay the same scene of coming home to
Find 8 limbs squirming in a frenzied fit

I′ve opened too many doors with signs that say
Sad, salacious, sordid and bleak
Patience is a virtue you but you′re no saint
Wait for your turn to speak

We're on a race to nowhere
(I can see that you don′t care)
You look at me and just say "take me there"
You just say "take me there"

We're on a race to nowhere
(I can see that you don′t care)
You look at me and just say "take me there"
You just say "take me there"

You've just jumped out of the back of a plane
With no parachute and you′ve expected me to jump too
I'd like to think that I could pull off some double O status freefall rescue
I'm not willing to tow your line
You deal with your shit, I′ll cope with mine

I look at how our journey ends
And crash test ways we could have made amends

I guess I′ll just watch you take a bow as the curtain drops
Not even into the second scene when the show just stops
What is it exactly that you expect me to do
You don't want me but you need to me stand by you

We′re on a race to nowhere
(I can see that you don't care)
You look at me and just say "take me there"
You just say "take me there"

We′re on a race to nowhere
(I can see that you don't care)
You look at me and just say "take me there"
You just say "take me there"
