When it all comes apart,
What do you do in the dark? in Nanaimo?
When it’s all gone too far
Can we just get in the car, leave Nanaimo?
Drive till we kill all those demons in our heads!
But are they really dead?
When the day starts again,
Waking up, and you’re back in Nanaimo
As the car shuttles round,
Grey is holding me down in Nanaimo
Could we move anywhere, any town
Any place I’ve never been!
It could be far and wide, day or night
I found rentals in Berlin - are you in?
We could be all we’ve dreamed
All we hoped, when our dreams were big and wide!
Europe calls, Prague it sings, Belgium’s grand, I could even do Versaille!
You and I, is it right?
At the lights I saw red,
I remember we all said, fuck Nanaimo
This old place, burn it down
Woodgrove mall and the north town, south Nanaimo
When I’m done seeing red,
Out in the forest, in the end,
After all the shit I’ve said…
I’m from Nanaimo
