	lyrics
so at the end of the rainbow there's very little space between a pot of gold and flat on your face you follow your dream until youre damn near dead your dream is shattered - didn't it sink thru your head? well i was drivin down that road just the other day till i ran out of rainbow and a man stepped in my way he said "you musta gone wrong in your music career, cuz you caint get here from there and sure caint get there from here" I asked him "what is this place?" and he said "nobody cares but you just drove off the road 5 miles past nowhere" so this friend of mine says "we'll get outta here yet, go put your music on the internet! get a URL get a OMD get a billion hits aint no BFD and you can sit on your butt and watch the money rollin in just write a buncha hits, you know it's easy man!" about a quarter million muthas had the very same mind put out 2 million songs that nobody can find and nobody hears em and nobody cares we put our music on a server 5 miles past nowhere... 5 miles past nowhere (you have to pay your dues to get here) 5 miles past nowhere (i have become the thing that i feared) too young to stop rokkin too old to be a star why did i waste all this time on this goddamn guitar no image for the video cuz you know it's sex that sells noone cares about the music in this musician's hell cant play for a livin cant live without playin so im playin for the crowd 5 miles past nowhere 5 miles past nowhere there's a great big bar where people go and play guitar wednesday nite they got the open mic so's i goes down to check out anything i like the dude runnin the show's a guy i fired from a band a two faced fourflusher with a six pack in his hand he says "come on up, and do the thing you wanna do" with a gleam a comin offa his silver tooth i say "i thot you was dead" he says "yes i'm aware now i'm the leader of the band 5 miles past nowhere" so now i play the guitar while the people eat dinner the place is filled with rude, drunken sinners there's very little money and even less fame these salad forkin people don't know my name every band that comes here their car breaks down aint no way to ever leave this town you make the best of it lest it get the best of you at least you got this band of losers with a funky groove they ask me "what is this place?" and I say "nobody cares but you just drove off the road 5 miles past nowhere" 5 miles past nowhere (you have to pay your dues to get here) 5 miles past nowhere (i have become the thing that i feared) too young to stop rokkin too old to be a star why did i waste all this time on this goddamn guitar there's a signpost at the left Rod Serling standin there and he's tokin on a fag and lookin mighty debonaire he say you cant get there from here and you can't get here from there so you're playin rocky's time warp 5 miles past nowhere solo in B now miss letitia got the evil eye she show too much breast she show too much thigh she been tendin this bar since forever was new and you know she got that evil eye on you she got ever kinda drug and ever kinda drink she make a man stop thinkin when he should stop and think she make you lose your chops she make you lose your game it's your own damn fault you got noone to blame you say "I like your face" she say "I am aware cuz you just crawled in my bed 5 miles from nowhere" mr mike he's the boss of this bar tells everybody that they took it too far with their crimes of passion crimes of hate and most of all the crime of bein too late he say "you aint dead but you really aint alive i await you at the end of your drive he say "nobody to save you nobody to see i am your evil master now you work for me cuz i'm the devil himself you see your life has prepared you as a member of the band 5 miles from nowhere"
