Beck – Everlasting Nothing lyrics

[Verse 1]
You threw the keys to the kingdom
Over a skyscraper wall
Sowing seeds somewhere obsolete
In the everlasting nothing
It's been a long night in the slipstream
I thought I'd crash and burn if I came down
When I did, I found a friend to take me home
In the everlasting nothing

[Chorus]
Friends I've known, come and gone
Like a soldier with no song
Still, I try to get back home
In the everlasting nothing

[Verse 2]
I woke up in a movie
Didn't know if it was my whole life
When it ended, I laughed before I cried
In the everlasting nothing
And I washed up on the shoreline
Everyone was waiting there for me
Like a standing ovation for the funeral of the sun
In the everlasting nothing

[Chorus]
Friends I've known, come and gone
Like a soldier with no song
Still, I try to get back home
In the everlasting nothing

[Outro]
Nowhere child, keep on running
Nowhere child, keep on running
In your time, you'll find something
In the everlasting nothing
Nowhere child, keep on running
Nowhere child, keep on running
In your time, you'll find something
In the everlasting nothing
Nowhere child, keep on running
Nowhere child, keep on running
In your time, you'll find something
In the everlasting nothing
