Gm Cm I remember a girl so very well Gm F The carnival drum all mad in the air Gm Cm Grim reapers and skeletons and a missionary bell Bb F O where do we go now but nowhere Gm Cm In a colonial hotel we fucked up the sun Gm F And then we fucked it down again Gm Cm Well the sun goes up and the sun goes down Bb F Going round and around but nowhere Gm Cm The kitten that padded and purred on my lap Gm F Now swipes at my face with the paw of a bear Gm Cm I turn the other cheek and you lay into that Bb F O where do we go now but nowhere
Chorus:
Eb F O wake up my love my lover wake up Eb F O wake up my love my lover wake up Gm Cm Across clinical benches with nothing to talk Gm F Breathing tea and biscuits and the Serenity Prayer Gm Cm While the bones of our child crumble like chalk Bb F O where do we go now but nowhere Gm Cm I remember a girl so bold and so bright Gm F Loose-limbed and laughing and brazen and bare Gm Cm Sits gnawing her knuckles in the chemical light Bb F O where do we go now but nowhere Gm Cm You come for me now with a cake that you've made Gm F Ravaged avenger with a clip in your hair Gm Cm Full of glass and bleach and my old razorblades Bb F O where do we go now but nowhere
Chorus:
Eb F O wake up, my love, my lover wake up Eb F O wake up, my love, my lover wake up Gm Cm If they'd give me my clothes back then I could go home Gm F From this fresh, this clean, antiseptic air Gm Cm Behind the locked gates an old donkey moans Bb F O where do we go now but nowhere Gm Cm Around the duck pond we grimly mope Gm F Gloomily and mournfully we go rounds again Gm Cm And one more doomed time and without much hope Bb F Going round and around to nowhere Gm Cm From the balcony we watched the carnival band Gm F The crack of the drum a little child did scare Gm Cm I can still feel his tiny fingers pressed in my hand Bb F O where do we go now but nowhere Gm Cm If I could relive one day of my life Gm F If I could relive just a single one Gm Cm You on the balcony, my future wife Bb F O who could have known, but no one
Chorus:
Eb F O wake up, my love, my lover make up Eb F O wake up, my love, my lover make up
