Nothing Lyrics by John Fahey

The Epiphany of Glenn Jones

1997

Nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing

I have heard, ahem, and I read
That far away, beyond the clouds
Beyond the sun, the moon, and the stars
I have read that there is a land
Where there is...
Something
But...
Here?

Nothing
Nothing
Nothing

Now the other day a man came by, and told me that if I took the bus out to Oobliville, that there's a great deal of...
Something, out there
So I did it, I went to the bus station, I went up to Oobliville, got off at Oobliville, walked around, looked
And looked
But all I found was

Nothing
Samе as here
Nothing

Then a prеtty lady came by, and she said she'd been down to Extinctliville and seen all kinds of...
Something
In Extinctliville, and that I should go out there
All right, ma'am, I can
I can
I can
I can do things like that, sure
Why not
I mean really, why not?
Know what I mean?
So I took the train up there, to Extinctliville
Lots of other people on the train
All looking for the same thing
All looking for...
Something
And we got off the train, hoping we found the promised land
Hoping we would find the secret of ontology
And we walked and we walked and we walked
We looked and we looked and we looked
But

Nothing
Nothing

Now, I've had people come by here and try to argue with me
They all want to convince me
They all want to convince me
They all want to convince me of the same stupid thing
They all want to convince me that there is something
Sometimes we have extensive debates
Over the matter
For, after all
After all
After all
After all, what is a debate
Other than the dialectic?

And, for that matter
What is life?
Other than dialectic?
Affirmation, negation
Affirmation, negation
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes?
No, no, no, no, no?
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
No, no, no, no, no
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
No, no, no, no, no
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
No, no, no, no, no
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
No, no, no, no, no
Yes
Well, "maybe," someone said
But we all know what that means, don't we?
No, no, no
Yes, yes, yes
No, no, no, no, no
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Yes, yes, yes
No
Nothing
No
No
No, no, no, no, no, no

Nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing

[?]

Nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Keep that in
Nothing
Nothing
Noth--wait, what's that?
It can't be anything...
Hmm?
I see something
I see something
I see something, it's...
