Lyrics
THERE, THERE, THERE IS NO THERE
Words and Music by Ingrid MacDonald
Let’s say that you’re travelling on a high-speed train
On a spinning planet that’s hard to explain
You think you’re travelling yet you remain
There, there, there is no there
There’s no there there, there’s no there there
There’s no there there
Let’s say you want to go somewhere
You make all the arrangements with the utmost care
Then, when you get there, you’re still here
There, there, there is no there
There’s no there there, there’s no there there
There’s no there there
The only place that I can go
The only I that I can see
The place I go is only here
The one I am is only me
There, there, there is no there
There’s no there there, there’s no there there
There’s no there there
