Nowhere fast

from Self Assembly by Jim Pearson

/

lyrics

There’s panic in the heavens communication has been lost
I haven’t understood a word we’ve got our wires crossed
The truth is somewhere out there between the profit and the loss
But suddenly nothing happens

Let’s spend the day
Like it is our last
We’re living a dream
Getting nowhere fast

Take me to your leader I’ve got a thing or two to say
I’d like an explanation of how on earth we ended up this way
Speak to me via satelite I’m ready to obey
Then suddenly nothing happens

So let’s spend the day
Like we live in the past
We’re caught in a dream
Getting nowhere fast

An eye for a lie
A tooth for a truth
You’re under suspicion
But there isn’t any proof
It’s just a funny feeling
Perhaps I’m only dreaming
Then suddenly nothing happens

"You never can be sure what kind of project Jim will come up with next, but you can always be sure it's gonna be pretty darn good." Tom Robinson BBC 6 Music.

Jim's songs range from the whimsical to some of the most bitter and somber themes, yet always with a paradoxical childlike spirit that meets them head-on – wide-eyed and full of hopeful energy.
