Insides Out
Jordan Zevon

Looking to the sky with questions

Wondering how this misdirection

Came to be the street my life has paved

Why the voices so familiar

Fade into the hemisphere

The more I crave

The more they slip away

There's no happily-ever-after

Just some tears we smear with laughter


At least I've got pictures and memories

Saving your voice on my phone machine

The bits and the pieces of something that almost feels like a dream

A drink, a pill, but still you can't escape reality

When you're turning insides out

Finding out just what you're all about


Now it's getting closer to the surface

Feel the itch, but I can't scratch it

All filed up with no place to go

Scabs that I've grown closer to

That feel too deep to dare remove

Beneath the skin, the bone, the veins, the soul

Truth be told I'm in the thick

But feeling thinner by the minute


At least I've got pictures and memories

Saving your voice on my phone machine

The bits and the pieces of something that almost feels like a dream

A drink, a pill, but still you can't escape reality

When you're turning insides out

Searching for some solid ground

Who knew you could scream so loud

Now that you're turning insides out


Headed straight to ordinary

Settled on a plot of bland

But all the best laid

Rarely pay a worthy dividend

And so I'll tread where most would stray

And when I land flat on my face

I'll brush the dirt and stand up with a smile

At least they'll never say I didn't try


At least I've got pictures and memories

Saving your voice on my phone machine

The bits and the pieces of something that almost feels like a dream

A drink, a pill, but still you can't escape reality

When you're turning insides out

This is what it's all about

Bailing out the boat before you drowned

Now that you're turning insides out

This is what it's all about

Who knew you could scream so loud

Now that you're...
