NOBODY KNEW WHERE WE WERE
(original)

It ends then it begins
the evening ritual
from outside or within
forever unoriginal

I found her where I lost myself
and later in my dreams
She showed me things I never knew
and never found the meaning

And nobody knew where we were
And nobody knew where we were

It never could have lasted
for we were strictly young
like none of it would translate
to any older tongue

Like smoke above the rooftops
we drifted into space
And without any guiding lights
we followed our own way

And nobody knew where we were

Anonymously roaming
Possessing only verve
Cameras in absentia
Get nothing we deserve

We found it where we lost ourselves
And stolen from our dreams
Were visions from another eye
We never found the meaning

And nobody knew who we were

It never could have lasted
for we were strictly young
like none of it would translate
to any older tongue

We spoke into cassette tapes
We printed into space
Created new existence
They never saw our face, and

Nobody knew who we were
Nobody knew who we were.
