Middle of nowhere

I live in the middle of nowhere, where nowhere's all around

And in the middle of nowhere, there are many nowhere sounds

Colourful birds in the middle of nowhere screech and squawk and trill

A choir of frogs sing in chorus in the centre of nowheresville

 

Sometimes I go to somewhere, where somewhere's all around

And in the middle of somewhere there are many somewhere sounds

Cars in the middle of somewhere screech their tyres and blare their horns

Jackhammers hammer, sirens wail singing the cacophonous somewhere song

 

Then I love to get back to nowhere, where nowhere's all around

Because in the middle of nowhere, there's something all around

Peace and harmony and stillness are everywhere I see

Right in the middle of nowhere is where I like to be
