Ezra Furman Every Feeling Lyrics
Ezra Furman Restless Year Lyrics
[Doo-Wop Refrain]
[Verse 1]
I set up camp in the center of town
Ready for freedom when it all comes down
Snapping my fingers, walking around
I’m the dusty jewel in the thrown-out crown
[Verse 2]
Got a bus pass to make my way
From hideout to hideout in the heat of the day
I got a talisman tote with the whole array
And when you catch my coat-tails I’ll be miles away
[Chorus]
Restless year
It was another restless year
It was a restless year
For a while we had no fear
[Verse 2]
Yeah
Bloody nose in the all night diner
Rolling with Rose and Miss Mariel Steiner
You can’t pin her down, you can’t define her
Dostoevsky, dime store copy
[Doo-Wop Refrain]
[Verse 3]
Making the rounds in my five dollar dress
I can’t go home, though I’m not homeless
I’m just another savage in the wilderness
And if you can’t calm down you can listen to this
[Bridge]
(Death!) Is my former employer
(Death!) Is my own Tom Sawyer
(Death!) Waits for me to destroy her
I never wanna die and I never grow older yeah
[Doo-Wop Refrain]
[Chorus]
Restless year
It was another restless year
It was a restless year
Don’t tell me anything I don’t want to hear

Ezra Furman Whatever
Ezra Furman My Zero
[Verse 1]
Out on the open prairie
The amber waves of grain
I sat and lit my fire
I saw your passing train
I watched your yellow windows
I couldn’t see your face
[Chorus]
I thought you’d always be
My zero
I thought you’d always be
My zero
[Verse 2]
Sitting down by the fire
I cook my can of beans
I draw the constellations
I wonder what they mean
Sit back, replay my movie
I go through all the scenes
[Chorus]
I thought you’d always be
My zero
I thought you’d always be
My zero
My zero
[Verse 3]
I’ve gone away forever
The wrong side of the tracks
My blood all filled with garbage
My heart shot through with cracks
I saw her dark hair falling
All down her snow-white back
[Chorus]
I thought you’d always be
My zero
I thought you’d always be
My zero
My zero
