We Are Nowhere And It's Now - (with Emmylou Harris) Lyrics - I'm Wide Awake It's Morning - Bright Eyes

If you hate the taste of wine 

Why do you drink it 'til you're blind? 

And if you swear that there's no truth and who cares 

How come you say it like you're right? 

Why are you scared to dream of God 

When it's salvation that you want? 

You see stars that clear have been dead for years 

But the idea just lives on 

In our wheels that roll around 

As we move over the ground 

And all day it seems we've been in between 

The past and future town 

We are nowhere, and it's now 

We are nowhere, and it's now 

And like a ten minute dream in the passenger seat 

While the world was flying by 

I haven't been gone very long 

But it feels like a lifetime 

I've been sleeping so strange at night 

Side effects they don't advertise 

I've been sleeping so strange 

With a head full of pesticide
