Lyrics Ezra Furman – Come Here Get Away From Me

I suck all the life out of everything I see
I drink a bottle of wine
I’ve got the digital content blues
I got money saved up somewhere

I believe in God
But I don’t believe we’re getting out of this one
Before somebody pays for the things I’ve done
I did some terrible things, it’s true
But even terribler were the things I didn’t do
When I was living up at Kalamazoo
Get away from me

All my life
All my life, I’m jumping rock to rock
I’ll see you in your dreams
All my life
All my life, I’ve built this fortress
On the edge of your town
Come here and get away from me

Have you ever stayed up all night
In a backseat park in a field in Arkansas
While a man on a motorcycle circles around real slow?
And you shiver and it’s cold and the sun comes up
And your friend wakes up and you tell them about the man
Was he ever really there? And you don’t even know

And so you say you want to get to know me
So you say you want to make contact
Well, talk to me baby, come here, get away from me

I got one doctor that I talk to every week about this panic
Got one doctor that I talk to every week about the apathy
I can’t wake up and I don’t know how to sleep
Honey, I got a paradox and I can’t get free
Come here, put your hand on my knee
And don’t touch me, get away from me

All my life
All my life, I’m jumping rock to rock
I’ll see you in your dreams
All my life
All my life, I’ve built this fortress
On the edge of your town
Come here and get away from me

Get away from me
Come here
