Come Here Get Away from Me - Ezra Furman

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

Lost the card and the checkbook, name of the bank

There’s a plague in my head

Come here and get away from me

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

Talk to me baby, come here, get away from me

Talk to me baby, get to know me, you can take it right back

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
