Nowhere girl you're living in a dream, Nowhere girl you stay behind the scenes, Nowhere girl you never go outside, Nowhere girl 'cause you prefer to hide. Every day, every might In that all old familiar light You hang up when I call you at home. And I try to get through Ant I try to talk to you But there's something stopping me from getting through. Nowhere girl what you had you need, Nowhere girl all functional and neat, Nowhere girl in self-imposed exile, Nowhere girl a martyr-like denial. Every day, every might In that all old familiar light You hang up when I call you at home. And I try to get through Ant I try to talk to you But there's something stopping me from getting through. No way girl [Repeat: x 4] Every day, every might In that all old familiar light You hang up when I call you at home. And I try to get through Ant I try to talk to you But there's something stopping me from getting through. No way girl [Repeat: x 4]
