Song was first played live and acoustic on Bayern 2 radio station in Germany on 23rd July 2015. It remained unreleased until Ezra Furman’s Transangelic Exodus album of February 2018.
It is about the conflicting desire for company and isolation.
[Verse 1]
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, get away from me
[Verse 2]
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 terrible-r were the things I didn't do
When I was living out in Kalamazoo
Get away from me
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
Have you ever stayed up all night
In a backseat parked 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 'em about the man
Was he ever really there? And you don't even know
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
I got one doctor that I talk to every week about this panic
I 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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Get away from me

On Consequence of Sound (9/2/18), Ezra Furman said this about the track,
This one began as a fast-strummed Country-Western sort of song, if you can believe that. I do have the digital content blues. I’m really sick in the head. This is one of two songs that feature Jorgen playing a dulcimer that m...
