    Story Behind the Song
    Not too long after arriving back in the Bay Area in 1982, I wrote this song in 1983, it was inspired from my love life at the time. I was dating a white California girl and met a pretty black woman with whom I chose over the white girl. The lyrics were written in broken english. The song was composed on piano and transposed to acoustic guitar. Chloe White helps with vocals.

    Lyrics
    [instrumental intro-chants HU HU]

    Sometimes, we as close as can be,
    Sometimes, we seem so far (away),
    Dont truly know your destiny,
    I just follow my star.
    Dont really know what you are all about,
    I just know, I no scream, I no shout.
    I enjoy the peace and quiet of nowhere,
    And nowhere is all about.
    [instrumental break-electric guitar solo]

    There is seemingly no space of my own,
    I justa go, justa go, from one to another,
    Like a dog without a bone,
    Rollin and rowin on to me home.
    I no shout or pout or scream!
    I enjoy the tranquil nowhere,
    And nowhere is all about my dreams.
    [instrumental break-chants HU HU]

    Like an empty shell man,
    I be plain, I be bland,
    I fade away like a nowhere land,
    And there is no need for me to stand,
    Its marked in the lines of me hands.
    I just know what a few things about,
    I dont know how to bring myself out,
    I like a lizard on a hanger,
    I like a fouled one banger,
    I dont know what its all about,
    I just know I have a falling out,
    It seems we move too far,
    I just follow my star,
    Into nowhere,
    Into everywhere,
    Into Ek.
    [instrumental (guitar & chants Hu Hu) outro]
