Took me a ride 'round the city
Thought I'd look around, see if I'd find another you
Had to be a place wherein they do do what you do
Where I could see what I needed to see yeah

Found me a shrine in the city
Walked to mass swallowed some smoke and rang a bell
Asked if there's a place wherein they do do what you do
But he said Boy don't you know when you got what you had gotta grab it and never let go

Took another ride 'round the city
Took about an hour, crooked old taxi picked me up
Take me to a place wherein they do do what you do
But he said Boy don't you know when you got what you had gotta grab it and never let go
And he said...

Chorus
Ooh, nowhere ain't never gonna find (ooh, nowhere)
I hear the same thing all the time (ooh, nowhere)
Boy you ain't even got a prayer
You won't find that no way nowhere
Nowhere

Boy, don't you know that you get what you get in the city?
Nobody ever delivers the way that you want (a happy ending)
Never, no never give up what you've got 'cause you think there's something better
Chances are there ain't nowhere...nowhere
No more rides 'round the city
No more nights trying to find another you
Going to a place wherein they don't do what you did
Where I could see what I need to be see

Going far away from the city
Going to a place where I can view a better view
Going to a place where I can get away from you
But I know soon as I get where I'm going you'll get there and get it and grab it and go
And I know...

(Repeat chorus twice)
Nowhere...
