NOWHERELAND
(written 1996-1997/recorded 2004/revised 2006 and 2020)

---

am i taking it too serious
did they fail to rescue me
who presumes to judge for someone else
what is wrong and what is right

anew i’m harrowed by the insight
that the core of truths is this one
that there is no truth at all, my dear
and though i thought that all the dread
is the weakness of a weakling’s son
i’d say never greater was my fear than this time

and i fly, and i fly
back to nowhereland
to where the sun always shines
wave good-bye, wave good-bye
to the trembling hands
to the world that belongs to you
all of you
all of you
all of you

no more lying to myself
no more fake trips, no commitments
i deserve finality, i think
no more naïve faith in tomorrow
who on earth will think of me
when my corpse begins to rot and stink

and i fly, and i fly
back to nowhereland
to where the sun always shines
wave good-bye, wave good-bye
to the trembling hands
to the world that belongs to you
all of you
all of you
all of you
