when i was a boy
i went running off to school
went home every evening
like there was nothing else to do

one night i looked out my window
and while the moon was racing past
i sat up there and wondered
am i goin´ nowhere fast?

i see the telephone post
i watch a sparrow fly
and all the lonely souls know
but i just drive on by

and i think of all the dreams there
that never came to pass
and i can´t help but wonder
hey are we goin´ nowhere fast?
nowhere fast

and i don´t have an answer
and i don´t have a clue
why people act so crazy
but i guess i´m crazy too
a little bit crazy too

i watch my baby sleeping
it´s been a long hard day
and she looks so peaceful
lost in the faraway

sometimes i just wanna hold her
and make one moment last
but all i do is wonder
hey are we goin´ nowhere fast?
nowhere fast

nowhere
are we goin´ nowhere fast?
