Neko Case - I'm From Nowhere lyrics

Night sunshine the ghetto bird chimes 4am
Welcome to the West
A mosquito to kiss your hands and feet
Welcome to this dirty business

I was surprised when you called me a lady
'Cause, I'm still not so sure that
That's what I wanna be
'Cause, I remember the 80s
And I remember it's puffy sleeves
You say I'm lucky to be here
Then maybe you can take this over
And I'll gladly wear the pants
Into the next century

Past the scanners with ease
Past armies of them
Who once played in a band
And wasted it complaining like
A trust fund kid
Paying you to play here while they
Hate you because of it
You say I'm "lucky to be here"
But, I've been driving for 21 days

What's that nasty sound?
The E-brake drags the ground
God, if you only knew
What my candied fist could do
The curtain's closing in from all directions
Just answer my question
Perhaps, it's best if I continue
Starring me as you, me as you
Starring me as you, me as you

And there you are at the edge of the world
Dangling with my heart a'pounding
Above a gulf of hamstrung promises
You sang like "Auld Lang Syne"
You wanted it so badly that you
Believed them at the time

Every fashion's flame every jet-plane lie
Every second helping of that off ramp
Fame we die a little

You're right, I'm from Nowhere
You're right, I'm from Nowhere
You're right, I'm from Nowhere you're right
