They Might Be Giants - Self Called Nowhere

lyrics:
I'm sitting on the curb
Of the empty parking lot
Of the store where they let me play the organ
I'm waiting for my ride
But I want to wait inside
The store where they let me play the organ

But I'm thinking of a wooden chair
In the room at the top of the stair
And I'm looking down the stairwell

At the vanishing dot
On the map of the spot
Let me take you there
The dotted line
Surrounding the mind
Of a self called nowhere
It's a thing named "id"
In a bottomless pit
You can't see it there
The sunken head
That lies in the bed
Of a self called nowhere

Standing in my yard
Where they tore down the garage
To make room for the torn down garage
I'm looking for my car
But I must have sold my car
When I needed to buy an electric organ

But I'm thinking of a wooden chair
In the room at the top of the stair
And I'm looking down the stairwell

At the vanishing dot
On the map of the spot
Let me take you there
The dotted line
Surrounding the mind
Of a self called nowhere
It's a thing named "id"
In a bottomless pit
You can't see it there
The sunken head
That lies in the bed
Of a self called nowhere
Nowhere

The vanishing dot
On the map of the spot
Let me take you there
The dotted line
Surrounding the mind
Of a self called nowhere
It's a thing named "id"
In a bottomless pit
You can't see it there
The sunken head
That lies in the bed
Of a self called...

THANK. YOU.

I was looking for this kind of video for this song. Best tune from John Henry.

Too bad there isn't a real music video.

i know, iots one of my favorites. i dont know why this came out blurry and the others didnt.

I just found this song the other day, and can't stop listening to it. It is amazing.

TMBG should really pick this one back up for concerts. After all, they have been traveling and performing with the horns for awhile now. I get a feeling Marty Beller can't do the drums for this song, though.

[schoolybear1]

Love this song! haven't heard it in years... maybe the closest TMBG comes to some head bangin'? haha

[gyniest]

This would be a great song in a movie.

[nowherebear1]

NOWHERE!!!!!!

[BifMcAwesome]

If you play this backwards youcan hear them sing "I buried Paul".

[DTD110865]

This might offend a lot of people, but the song reminds me of a Barry Manilow song, if Barry Manilow were actually cool.

[starlimitz2]

I'm very glad more people are listening to this song. It's been my favorite song for years.

[theC4K3is4lie]

Best TMBG song EVER.

[shadowlynx8090]

My god, I love this song.

[BongoWW]

This is a contraversial matter.

No one really knows.

[ConJonBlizzard1]

I always it went "A thing named it".
