Up in a no where town
Where there`s no where to go but down
Ariba en un pueblo
Que no esta en nada
Walkin` round in circles in the pouring rain
Waitin` for ya luck to change
The weather vane is spinning out of control wit no directional plane
And that`s a metaphor for u cause yo ya feelin` the same
A shame ya didn`t go to college get the G.E.D.
Ya play the hoochie up at Hooters on the J.O.B.
Complacency I see the boredom slip a tip in ya bra
Yo what`s happening?
It`s like ya flippin` burgers for Rob
Ay yo u still got time to shine on
U can decorate yo life any way that u like
U still got time to shine on
But u gotsta get out tonite!
Up in a nowhere town
Where there`s nowhere to go but down
And we`re just kickin` around
Where we swim and we sink and drown
Ya teachers useta tell ya u were smarter than this
They pinch ya booty -fake a smile and then u tease w/ a kiss
Ya shift`ll end at 1 a.m. and then u cruisin` the strip
And u think u the shit but girl it gets old quick
U flick a butt u know what`s up
I tell ya ass to elevate but u be all about the fantasy
Ya future can wait
So make sure you collect the money first
Before u lie down in the bed
Freeloadin` never pay ya folks no rent
Ya hook up with some kid from down the block and hit the shower
Sleepwalkin` thru ya role like Heather Graham in Austin Powers
Yo I calls it like I sees it wanna front grown up?
Now everybody in together now shut the fuck up
Ay yo u still got time to shine on
Heaven knows yo I`m feelin` yo fears
U still got time to shine on
But`cha gotsta get the hell out of here
Up in a nowhere town
Where there`s nowhere to go but down
And we`re just kickin` around
Where we swim and we sink & drown
Standin` in the shadow up inside of ya room
Wonder when the vibe had turned so blue yo it`s the truth
Ay yo sometimes u feel so small u wanna crawl in the womb
The summertime it come and gone
U said you`d move back in June
So free yoself from the fears that surrounds u
The tide might be high silly girl ain`t gonna drown ya
U wear your life preserver float into the silver lining
And Bob Marley sing "Sun Is Shining"
Ay yo u still got time to shine on
U can decorate yo life anyway that u like
U still got time to shine on
But u gotsta get out tonite!
Up in a nowhere town
Where there`s nowhere to go but down
And we`re just kickin` around
Where we swim and we sink and drown
Ariba en un pueblo
Que no esta en nada
