A colourless sign reads:
Nobody Town
Fourteen miles north of Redding
Twelve miles west of the ground
Population: Not much
Size: Doesn't matter
Museums: Don't touch
Food: On a platter
Nobody's lost
Nobody's found
Nobody matters in Nobody Town
Established: Not well
Motto: "You're not wanted"
Houses: Can't sell
Churches: Always haunted
Nobody's smile
Nobody's frown
Nobody makes it in Nobody Town
Nickname: Still none
Elevation: Not high
Playgrounds: Not fun
And the birds: Hardly fly
Nobody's here
Nobody's there
Nobody's noticed that nobody cares
Nobody's burnt
Nobody's drown
Nobody saves you 'cause no one's around
Nobody's up
Nobody's down
Nobody's happy in Nobody Town
Nothing comes out
Nothing goes through
Nothing here matters 'cause none of it's true...
...because signs can't read, silly
