  • You threw the keys to the kingdom
    Over a skyscraper wall
    Sowing seeds somewhere obsolete
    In the everlasting nothing

    It's been a long night in the slipstream
    I thought I'd crash and burn if I came down
    When I did I found a friend to take me home
    In the everlasting nothing

    Friends I've known come and go
    Like a soldier with no song
    Still I try to get back home
    In the everlasting nothing

    I woke up in a movie
    Didn't know if it was my whole life
    When it ended I laughed before I cried
    In the everlasting nothing

    And I washed up on the shoreline
    Everyone was waiting there for me
    Like a standing ovation for the funeral of the sun
    In the everlasting nothing

    Friends I've known come and go
    Like a soldier with no song
    Still I try to get back home
    In the everlasting nothing

    Nowhere child
    Keep on running
    Nowhere child
    Keep on running
    In your time you'll find something
    In the everlasting nothing

    Nowhere child
    Keep on running
    Nowhere child
    Keep on running
    In your time you'll find something
    In the everlasting nothing

    Nowhere child
    Keep on running
    Nowhere child
    Keep on running
    In your time you'll find something
    In the everlasting nothing Writer/s: Beck David Hansen
