Recorded live in performance at Nana Hari, Hachobori, Tokyo. Here I'm accompanying myself on the strumstick.
You Came Out of Nowhere
i keep thinking there's something i need to do
and i keep not doing it
there's a truth i need to swallow
i'm not even chewing it
don't wanna face the situation
it's sad but it's a fact
you came out of nowhere then you went back
the sun's gone down a hundred times
baby since you left
little by little i've realized
you were a master of theft
the horse you told me to bet on
never made it to the track
you came out of nowhere then you went back
nowhere... where is that i wonder
just past the third wrong turn
at the center of the cosmic blunder
last night i stood by the railroad tracks
as a big old train rolled by
all i woulda had to do was lean forward
it woulda been so easy to die
and the lies you told me rattled round my mind
like the train wheels clickety clack
you came out of nowhere then you went back
nowhere... where is that i wonder
just past the third wrong turn
at the center of the cosmic blunder
i see someone from the corner of my eye
but i don't bother to turn my head
it ain't you it's never you
just some other ghost instead
and it all feels like the final scene
i'm ready to fade to black
you came out of nowhere then you went back
