Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Where we goin'?
What is this place?
Somebody help me outta here
[Verse 2]
Oh, I'm walkin' faster
Faster and faster to nowhere
Oh, I'm runnin' slower
Slower and slower to somewhere
'Cause the city is closin'
Tighter and tighter around me
It's a nightmare, daymare
It's a bad-mare no matter which way-mare
[Verse 3]
Seems there
There must be some way to get out
But I just can't find it
[Verse 4]
People pushin', hustlin' (Pushin', hustlin')
Rushin' on into the future
Windows open, closin' (Open, closin')
In a way that they just never used to
Oh, there's violence lurkin' (Violence lurkin')
The alleys where no one should dare go
So keep walkin' faster (Walkin' faster)
Faster and faster to nowhere
[Verse 5]
I gotta get outta here
Somebody, that guy came at me with a gun
The city's closin' in
[Verse 6]
Trip to nowhere
Trip to nowhere
Trip to nowhere
We're gonna take a little
Trip to nowhere
Trip to nowhere
Trip to nowhere
We're gonna take a little
Trip to nowhere
Trip to nowhere
Trip to nowhere
We're gonna take a little (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Trip to nowhere
Trip to nowhere
Trip to nowhere
We're gonna take a little (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Verse 7]
Cryin', screamin' (Cryin', screamin')
But no one let's on that they heart them
It's gettin' louder, louder (Louder, louder)
Surely that someone must hear them
'Cause the city's closin' (City's closin')
Tighter and tighter around me
'Cause it's a nightmare, daymare (Nightmare, daymare)
It's a bad-mare no matter which way-mare
[Verse 8]
Help me
I wanna get out
Runnin' out
Stop closing in on me
Help
[Verse 9]
Trip to nowhere
Trip to nowhere
Trip to nowhere
We're gonna take a little (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Trip to nowhere
Trip to nowhere
Trip to nowhere
We're gonna take a little (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Trip to nowhere
Trip to nowhere
Trip to nowhere
We're gonna take a little (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Trip to nowhere
Trip to nowhere
Trip to nowhere
We're gonna take a little
Trip to nowhere
Trip to nowhere
Trip to nowhere
We're gonna take a little (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
