Michelle Lewis---Nowhere and Everywhere

(Michelle Lewis/Wayne Cohen)



Da da da...mmmm..oh ho...



She's been traveling the sidewalks for hours

Stopping as every moment of the truth wanders past

Window shopping for religion or something harder

Than the coins in her pocket



She is way too pretty for prime time New York

She gets the business every time she takes a walk

Amid the shark-smile porno scenes

But they can't ever touch her - their disappearing queen



She is...

Nowhere and everywhere

Nowhere and everywhere

Nowhere and everywhere

at the same time



She's as shady as cheap sunglasses

But as perfect as this October Monday passes

To a draggin'-your-soul-around-town rhythm

Always in such a hurry, but never too fast

Playing chicken with delivery boys and tag with the subways

Searchin' alleys for proper company

She's jumping in and out of cracks

And she's got everything that you lack

Well she entered unnoticed

You will feel it when she leaves



She is...

Nowhere and everywhere

Nowhere and everywhere

Nowhere and everywhere

at the same time



Ahhhh..



We belong...in gutters and glittering lobbies

We belong...to a street lamp flickering out

We belong...to absolutely nothing



Getting out of a taxi the other day

My heart fell out of my backpack and into a puddle

And so my chest was empty but it felt okay

I just fished out the pieces and walked away into...



Nowhere and everywhere

Nowhere and everywhere

Nowhere and everywhere

at the same time



aahhh..



We are

Nowhere and everywhere

You're feeling close but nothing's there

We are

nowhere and everywhere

at the same time



Heeyyyy...



Nowhere and everywhere

Nowhere and everywhere

Nowhere and everywhere.....
