We Are Nowhere and It’s Now (Companion Version)

[Verse 1]
If you hate the taste of wine
Why do you drink it 'till you're blind?
And if you swear that there's no truth and who cares
How come you say it like you're right?

Why are you scared to dream of God?
When it's salvation that you want
See stars that clear have been dead for years
But the idea just lives on

Like our wheels that spin around
As we float above the ground
And all day it seems we've been in between
A past and a future town

[Pre-Chorus 1]
We are nowhere and it's now
We are nowhere and it's now

[Chorus 1]
And like a ten-minute dream in the passenger seat
While the world was flying by
I haven't been gone very long
But it feels like a lifetime

[Bridge]
I've been sleeping so strange at night
Side-effects they don't advertise
I've been sleeping so strange
With a head full of pesticide

[Verse 2]
I got no plans there's too much time
I feel too restless to unwind
I'm always lost in thought as I walk the block
To my favourite neon sign

Where the waitress looks concerned
But she never says a word
Just turns the jukebox on and we hum along
And I smile right back at her

And my friend comes after work
When the speeches start to slur
She says, these bars are filled with things that kill
By now you probably should have learned

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Did you forget that yellow bird?
How could you forget your yellow bird?

[Chorus 2]
And she took a small silver wreath and pinned it onto me
She said, this one will bring you love
And I know that's not true
But I keep it for good luck
