road to nowhere

A propósito de uma recta de estrada fotografada e bem pelo amigo Rui Batista, sentindo a sua imensidão e a sua liberdade, permitiu-me ausentar deste lugar onde estou. De imediato veio-me também à memória a letra desta música dos Talking Heads. Verdade é que, amiúde, me dá vontade de ir, simplesmente ir, sem tino ou destino. A propósito, gostava de copiar para aqui a tal fotografia, mas o copyright não me permite, portanto espreitem aqui.

ROAD TO NOWHERE

Well we know where we're goin'

But we don't know where we've been
And we know what we're knowin'
But we can't say what we've seen
And we're not little children
And we know what we want
And the future is certain
Give us time to work it out

We're on a road to nowhere
Come on inside
Takin' that ride to nowhere
We'll take that ride

I'm feelin' okay this mornin'
And you know,
We're on the road to paradise
Here we go, here we go

We're on a road to nowhere
Come on inside
Takin' that ride to nowhere
We'll take that ride

Maybe you wonder where you are
I don't care
Here is where time is on our side
Take you there...take you there

We're on a road to nowhere
We're on a road to nowhere
We're on a road to nowhere

There's a city in my mind
Come along and take that ride
and it's all right, baby, it's all right

And it's very far away
But it's growing day by day
And it's all right, baby, it's all right

They can tell you what to do
But they'll make a fool of you
And it's all right, baby, it's all right
We're on a road to nowhere
