lyrics

(Tessie) Nowhere! What’s the definition that I’m looking for? This town reeking of monotony that I deplore.
And it’s always been this way; the hours of the day crawl by in (ITE) Nowhere! mmm
(Tessie)Nothing! Nothing could prepare me for a life like this! (ITE) Life like this (Tessie) Housewives incarnate, like the dishes, we repeat and rinse. (ITE) Ah
(Tessie) We gather in the square, like a (ITE) colorless nightmare (Tessie) right here in (ITE) Nowhere!

(Tessie) Well, I never questioned until now (ITE) Until now (Tessie) the way they plod, the way they bow (ITE) The way they plod, the way they bow, ah
(Tessie) I’ve never really spoke aloud, not sure I’d even be allowed (ITE) Not sure I’d even be, not sure I’d be allowed!

(Tessie) This tiny voice inside me cries! (ITE) Could freedom be my own demise? You’d be surprised
(Tessie) I can’t imagine how, I’ve got to answer it somehow.
[END DREAM SEQUENCE]
But there’s no time for that now, right here in Nowhere

(ITE) Tessie carries on with her day. After all, she’d hate to be late
