So Many Planets - St. Vincent

Misfiring chemicals and scary ideas
This revolution isn't fun, ma
I'm out of fashion, I got God on my heels
I'm dropping promises like H-bombs
But keep calm

I'm at the back of my head
Watching my life happening
Watching the sink filling red
And I'm not stopping it

I have to visit so many planets
Before I find my own
I fall asleep in the golden highway
Before I finally find it

Hemorrhaging heartthrob with a six-pack of beer
Leaning outside her burned-out window
She isn't smiling, but she's happy you're here
We'll make a killing from her trauma, oh mama

Here at the back of my head
Watching my life happening
Feeling distinct smithereens
I've gotten used to it

I have to visit so many planets
Before I find my own
I fall asleep in the golden highway
Before I finally find
Finally find it
