Vinyl Nirvana's Missing Persons Lyrics


Destination Unknown - Walking in L.A. - Words
Destination Unknown
Life is so strange when you don't know
How can you tell where you're going to
You can't be sure of any situation
Something could change and then you won't know
You ask yourself
Where do we go from here
It seems so all too near
Just as far beyond as I can see
I still don't know what this all means to me
So you tell yourself
I have nowhere to go
I don't know what to do
And I don't even know the time of day
I guess it doesn't matter any way
Life is so strange
Destination unknown
When you don't know
Your destination
Something could change
It's unknown
And then you won't know
Destination unknown
You ask yourself
When will my time come
Has it all been said and done
I know I'll leave when its my time to go
Till then I'll carry on with what I know
Life is so strange
Life is so strange

Walking in L.A.
Look ahead as we pass, try to focus on it
I won't be fooled by a cheap cinematic trick
It must have been just a cardboard cut out of a man
Top forty cast off from a record stand
Walkin' in L.A.
Walkin' in L.A. 
Nobody walks in L.A.
I don't know, could've been a lame jogger maybe
Or someone just about to the freeway strangler baby
Shopping cart pusher or maybe someone groovie
One thing's for sure he isn't starring in the movies
'Cause he's walkin' in L.A.
Walkin' in L.A. 
Only a nobody walks in L.A.
You won't see a cop walkin' on the beat
You only see'em drivin' cars out on the street
You won't see a kid walkin' home from school
Their mothers pick'em up in a car pool
Could it be that smog's playing tricks on my eyes
Or it's a rollerskater in some kind of headphone disguise
Maybe somebody who just ran out of gas, making his way
Back to the pumps the best way he can

Words
Do you hear me
Do you care
Do you hear me
Do you care
My lips are moving and the sound's coming out
The words are audible but I have my doubts
That you realize what has been said
You look at me as if you're in a daze
It's like the feeling at the end of the page
When you realize you don't know what you just read
What are words for
When no one listens anymore
What are words for
When no one listens what are words for
When no one listens there's no use talking at all
I might as well go up and talk to a wall
'Cause all the words are having no effect at all
Its a funny thing am I all alone
Something has to happen to change the direction
What little filters through is giving you the
Wrong impression it's a sorry state
I say to myself
Let me get by over your dead body
Hope to see you soon
Doors three feet wide with no locks open
Walking always backwards in faces of strangers
Time could be my friend
But it's less than nowhere now
Pursue it any further and another thing you'll find
Not only are they deaf and dumb but they 
Could be going blind no one notices
I think I'll dye my hair blue
Media overload bombarding you with action
It's getting near impossible to cause distraction
Someone answer me before I pull out the plug
