We Are Nowhere and It's Now - Companion Version

If you hate the taste of wine
Why do you drink it 'til you're blind?
If you swear that there's no truth, 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

Like our wheels that spin around
As we flow above the ground
And all day it seems we've been in between
A past and a future town

We are nowhere, and it's now
We are nowhere, and it's now

Like a ten-minute dream in the passengers seat
While the world was flying by
I haven't been gone very long
But it feels like a lifetime

I've been sleepin' so strange at night
Side effects they don't advertise
I've been sleepin' so strange
With a head full of pesticide

I've got no plans, there is too much time
Feel too restless to unwind
I always lost in thought as I walk through block
To my favorite neon sign

Where the waitress looks concerned
But she never says a word
Just turns the jukebox on and we hum along
And I smile right back at her

And my friend comes after work
When the speeches start to slur
She says these bars are filled with things that kill
By now, he probably should have learned

Did you forget that yellow bird?
How could you forget your yellow bird?

She took a small silver wreathe and pinned it onto me
She said, "This one will bring you love"
And I know that's not true
But I keep it for good luck
