Road To Nowhere Lyrics
The dad he was 50, the kid was 9 years old
He stood there like a miracle, with the kid's heart in his hold
'I think I might be dying, at least that's what I'm told'
Inside kid is crying, for the dream has just been sold
I'm only 9, I'm already feeling the strain
It seems everyone's dying or curling up in pain
Well it's just a loser's game, dad
It's just a loser's game
Oh come try and catch me, oh catch me if you can
I'll be the first to miss the grip of your hairless, bony hands
Well people run for shopping malls but you're waiting in the sky
Oh which consumer will you crush and which will you let by
I'm only 9, I'm already feeling the strain
It seems everyone's dying or curling up in pain
Well it's just a loser's game, dad
It's just a loser's game
Oh but the sun in the back of this vehicle
Remember the sun, where the beach boys were playing
Run for the sun
Oh dad, ain't it sad
That we're on this road to nowhere
Oh dad, ain't it sad
That we're on this road to nowhere
Oh dad, ain't it sad
That we're on this road to nowhere
Nowhere, I know
I'm only 9, I'm already feeling the strain
It seems everyone's dying or curling up in pain
Well it's just a loser's game, dad
It's just a loser's game
He stood there like a miracle, with the kid's heart in his hold
'I think I might be dying, at least that's what I'm told'
Inside kid is crying, for the dream has just been sold
It seems everyone's dying or curling up in pain
Well it's just a loser's game, dad
It's just a loser's game
I'll be the first to miss the grip of your hairless, bony hands
Well people run for shopping malls but you're waiting in the sky
Oh which consumer will you crush and which will you let by
It seems everyone's dying or curling up in pain
Well it's just a loser's game, dad
It's just a loser's game
Remember the sun, where the beach boys were playing
Run for the sun
That we're on this road to nowhere
Oh dad, ain't it sad
That we're on this road to nowhere
Oh dad, ain't it sad
That we're on this road to nowhere
Nowhere, I know
It seems everyone's dying or curling up in pain
Well it's just a loser's game, dad
It's just a loser's game

presumably about a kid losing his dad when he's only 9
this is the best song on the jackinabox album
In the past, I have cried my eyes out hearing this song. My mother had breast cancer at the time and my uncle had just died, and this song perfectly mirrored my worries about pain and death ('It seems everyone is dying or curling up in pain') and my feelings about the randomness of it all: "which consumer will you crush and which will you let by".. It's just SO beautiful!!
