Nowhere men

You walk down the dark avenue

Thinking of all the things you thought you knew

You hear someone that sounds just like Robert Plant

But he was just a poor immigrant

He asks for you some money for his family

For that desperate man you show apathy

And you go your way with no destination

Catching coins in your pocket to get into the station

You buy the ticket and get on the train

You sit alone and look at the window

And then you remember all the things you took in vain

I know you just want to put your head under the pillow

finally you arrive at a station with a cool name

And something reminds your heart broken by that flame

You broke it and you still lie to yourself

crying cause now you are someone else

You go up the stairs and you're in a big town

Look for a building high enough in this sky painted in gray

Then you get a colorful flower of a smiling clown

You thank and pretend that this has improved your day

You find what you were looking for in the city

You take the elevator and go to the top floor

then throw the flower and feel guilty

You sit on the edge and remember that you've been here before

anyway you are where you wanted to be

That immigrant comes to your mind

It is funny how you two could be happy if life did not blind

at that time you look at the sun and there is nothing else to see
