Road To Nowhere

Road to Nowhere is a song by Talking Heads, written by its band members. It expresses feelings of disorientation and lifes inevitability. The song is notably one of the bands most famous tracks, featuring an upbeat melody that contrasts with the more serious subject matter of its lyrics.

We're on a road to nowhere
Come on inside
Takin' that ride to nowhere
We'll take that ride
I'm feelin' okay this mornin'
and you know
We're on the road to paradise
Here we go
Here we go
(Riff in E)

We're on a ride to nowhere
Come on inside
Takin' 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
(Riff in E)

We're on a road to nowhere
Ha Ha
We're on a road to nowhere
Ha Ha
We're on a road to nowhere
Ha Ha
There's a city in my mind. Come along and take that ride
And it's all right, baby, it's all right
And it's very far away, but it's growing day by day
And it's all right, baby, it's all right
Would you like to come along. You can help me sing this song
And it's all right, baby, it's all right
They can tell you what to do. But they'll make a fool of you
And it's all right, baby, it's all right

There's a city in my mind. Come along and take that ride
And it's all right, baby, it's all right
And it's very far away, but it's growing day by day
And it's all right, baby, it's all right
Would you like to come along. You can help me sing this song
And it's all right, baby, it's all right
They can tell you what to do. But they'll make a fool of you
And it's all right, baby, it's all right

We're on a road to nowhere
Ha Ha
We're on a road to nowhere
Ha Ha
We're on a road to nowhere
Haaaaaaaaaaa
We're on a road to nowhere!
