[Verse 1] Every open hand became Another thing to use You turned kindness into license To do anything you chose You called the damage business And thought no answer meant That you could keep on taking Without consequence [Pre-Chorus] No one has to curse you No one needs revenge What you set in motion Will meet you at the end [Chorus] Last bus to nowhere Running right on time You bought your ticket every time You left someone behind No one has to chase you No one has to make you pay Karma keeps the schedule And the bus is on its way [Verse 2] You can change the names and cities Tell the story how you want Blame the ones who saw you clearly When they would not play along You can dress the truth in reasons Make the wrong sound almost right But the miles don’t change the reason You are riding there tonight [Pre-Chorus] A new town isn’t shelter A changed name won’t make you new There is nowhere safe from living With the things you choose to do [Chorus] Last bus to nowhere Running right on time You bought your ticket every time You left someone behind No one has to chase you No one has to make you pay Karma keeps the schedule And the bus is on its way [Bridge] Consequence is quiet It never needs to shout It lets you keep on moving Till every road runs out Then somewhere past the city With no one left to blame The doors fold open slowly And the driver says your name [Breakdown] No one bought your ticket No one chose your way You paid the fare in full With every choice you made [Final Chorus] Last bus to nowhere Running right on time You bought your ticket every time You left someone behind No one has to chase you No one has to make you pay Karma keeps the schedule And the bus is on its way [Outro] Karma keeps the schedule No matter what you say The last bus to nowhere Is already on its way [End] Lyrics © 2026 Paul Pfanner.
