My Soul Has Escaped From My Body - Ezra Furman, The Harpoons

I’m takin' a boat

Sailing the edge

Of this two-dimensional world

And I’m gonna fly

Out into space

Where there’s no gravity

And I know I’m going to feel better out there

I’m takin' my coat

And I’m gonna walk

Out of this two-dimensional room

And I’m gonna sit

Out in the street

Where no one will look at me

And I know I’m gonna be much better out there

You’re a shade of blue

You know me, I know you

And anyway it’s something I don’t do

So it’s come to this, rock and roll

It’s so ludicrous that my soul

Has escaped from my body

Dreams blanket the trees

Cover my bed

As I pass it by on the train

Where I am asleep

In a cocoon

Floating high above all the shit

That’s making me feel that’s it better up here

But I have to decend

For someone I love

He is wasting from the world

Of roses and beds

And wishing you were dead

'Cause you’re so sick of gravity

And I know he’s gonna be better up here

You’re a shade of blue

You know me, I know you

And running away, it’s something I can’t do

So it’s come to this, rock and roll

It’s so ludicrous that my soul

Has escaped from my body

And that’s not so bad

I’m in Trinidad

Being made into a toy

It’s so ludicrous that my soul

It’s so ludicrous that my soul

Has escaped from my body
