Nowhere ManHe's a real nowhere man,Sitting in his “Nowhere Land,”Making all his nowhere plansfor nobody.
Doesn't have a point of view,Knows not where he's going to,Isn't he a bit like you and me?
He's as blind as he can be,Just sees what he wants to see,Nowhere man can you see me at all?

lends you a hand!
