  • Reading in the phone booth
    Sucking on a ginger root
    I never got to talk to you
    Why is this the image I come back to?
    Pick my jewelry from the ash
    Find the box with the cold hard cash in it
    Give it to the next of kin

    I used to be too deep inside my head
    Now I'm too far out of my skin
    Too far out of my skin
    I am at peace with my death
    I can go back to bed
    I am at peace with my death
    I can go back to bed

    I make a desert of my mind
    Unfold myself so flat and wide
    Have nothing in mind in sight
    No cover for my thoughts to hide
    Never went to my Monaco
    But I held you hand in the pocket of my coat
    I learned to be loving and then to be alone
    Satisfied body and a hungry soul

    I used to be too deep inside my head
    Now I'm too far out of my skin
    Too far out of my skin
    I am at peace with my death
    I can go back to bed
    I am at peace with my death
    I can go back to bed

    I don't wanna be that man on the train
    On a grey commute, imagining fame
    Sweet relief, I will never be complete
    I will never be complete
    I'll never know everything
    I will never be complete
    I will never be complete
    I will never be complete
    I'll never know everything

    I used to be too deep inside my head
    Now I'm too far out of my skin
    Too far out of my skin Writer/s: Lucy Dacus
