“Nowhere Man” is a reference to the Beatles song with the same name. Ironically, the Beatles use the term to mean a shortsighted man who “just sees what he wants to see” whereas Bryce uses it to mean someone who wants to explore the whole world.
[Verse 1]
Summer time in cities I ain't never been to yet
Pretty broads with foreign cars who fly around in jets
I don't need no kerosene, I'll light it all myself
Alright, alright, yeah
Amsterdam and Trinidad ain't never seem so close
In the sky with wings tonight I'll hit the golden coast
I don't need no kerosene, I'll light it all myself
Alright, alright
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, me, oh, my
I just wanna see the whole world
On a plane, in the sky
Oh, me, oh, my
I just wanna see the whole world
On a train, for the ride
[Chorus]
Yeah, all I want is foreign land
New arrival, nowhere man
Here a minute, gone again
I'm a Nowhere Man
[Verse 2]
City high, for cities I might never call my home
Synagogues and cinemas from Budapest to Rome
I don't need no kerosene Id light it on my own
Alright, alright
I'd go nowhere and back
Searching for trouble wherever it's at
I smell up the fumes, I fell in the cracks
Moral lesson and expecting on whether to follow the map
Damn, new exchanges, different language, elevated
God damn, I'm an acclimated man
Oh, man
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, me, oh, my
I just wanna see the whole world
On a plane, in the sky
Oh, me, oh, my
I just wanna see the whole world
On a train, for the ride
[Chorus]
Yeah, all I want is foreign land
New arrival, nowhere man
Here a minute, gone again
I'm a Nowhere Man
[Bridge]
I just wanna see the whole world, hey
I just wanna see the whole world
I just wanna see the whole world
Hey, hey, hey
I'll be there until I'm gone
[Pre-Chorus]
I just wanna see the whole world
From a plane, in the sky
I just wanna see the whole world
On a train, for the night, ey
[Chorus]
Yeah, all I want is foreign land
New arrival, nowhere man
Here a minute, gone again
I'm a Nowhere Man
Here a minute, gone again
I'm a Nowhere Man
