Where To Go Shalala

-written by Jeremy Gloff

THE LYRICS:

Took 22 hours to get from Buffalo to Atlanta
And strangely it feels I haven’t moved an inch at all
The weather here is warmer
But the people here are colder
Or maybe it’s me who has frozen most of all

Took 22 years to get from birth to constant boredom
When no one I meet impresses me at all
And every conversation rings a little bit hollow
Or maybe it’s me who has nothing good to say at all.

Chorus:
Then I said
Where to go shalala
My shoes are full of holes but they still get me around
Where to go shalala
I can go most anywhere at all.

The exhaust from my van must’ve killed some brain cells in my head
I can’t remember what the fuck brought me here
The price of gas is cheaper but there’s nowhere I really wanna drive
Except on an interstate heading west
Warm California sun…

My thoughts return to Buffalo
My friends who used to hug me
It seems nobody here wants to touch me at all
I see vacant eyes, flashy clothes
The bottom half of an upturned nose
And I said “I gave up everything for this”
