Inside Man

She’s off in the distance

I’m often away

I’m walking in circles

Since you left yesterday

I’m waiting by myself

Don’t need nobody else

I’m under the ground in a well if you can, girl, please pull me up

Outta hell

It ain’t fair

There’s something in this air

I’m an inside man

And a wide-eyed fan

Of our hushed love affair

Upstairs

Not my fault

Got locked up in this vault

It’s a myth that you planned and I barely exist

Like a faded gestalt

—

You said that you’d send help

No one’s comin back

The last time you called here

I was taking a bath

Five year vacation

The water is fake

She’s so ostentatious

Such a crucial mistake I made

But I’d make it again

Meet me at the end

I don’t wanna just be friends

Wait outside for me

I’ll be there in ten

Throw me a hand

I’m stuck inside flat land

Just wanna be your man

Slide our feet down six inches into the sand
