Lyrics
In the front seat of your convertible car I’m awaiting your return
Watching sunshine flash and my cigarette ash til the corporate logo burns
You picked me up at the County Cook Psychiatry Institute
It’s my first day free. I’ve got nowhere to be so I’m coming home with you
Just a quick stop off at the drugstore
I’m not ready, so I wait in the car for you
You asked me who I might like to see on my first night back outside
But my friends are few and my lover is through and my family’s horrified
We ride along through the silent dusk while the moon gets drunk and high
It’s a cold white stone up in heaven alone and I’ve seen its darker side
You ask again and the words come out
So easy, they bypass my conscious mind
Point me toward the real motherfuckers
Point me toward the real
I’ve been lied to and abused. Time to try to heal
Cut me loose, cut me loose
Let me get hurt. Let me feel.
Cut my bound hands free and point me toward the real
Now ever since I was a little child I have felt this same old fear
That I alone will freeze while the world proceeds, I’ll be forever stuck right here
But I can’t live the old way, that way nearly left me dead
I need someone new who can tell me the truth and I don’t care who it is
I want the knife in deep and I want someone to give it a twist
We’re coming into the city now and I’ve only said it once
It’s a phrase so clean, I don’t know what it means but it’s more than I’ve said in months
You never ask what I did that made the cops fin’lly pick me up
You wanna know where I’m trying to go, where I’ll be, not where I was
I say it one more time, you nod and smile, and it’s better than all the drugs
Point me toward the real motherfuckers
Point me toward the real
I’ve been lied to and abused. Time to try to heal
Cut me loose, cut me loose
See what freedom might reveal
Cut my bound hands free and point me toward the real

New song! My nonbinary heart is so happy!
Thank you mom we love you
Ezra, I can't describe how your music conforts me. It's almost like you just understand how to touch all of your hearts. We love you. Thank you for sharing your wonderful music with us. 💜
Beautiful song and so evocative of that feeling of being bound to the perception of what is real. Ezra Furman, you've got such a gift of making fine art out of your music. And this is from somebody old enough to adopt you should you ever need an extra aunt!
bound to the perception of what is real? sorry, im gonna have to call u out on that balderdash
how can ezra be so underated?? blows my mind
Such great poetry in song.
incredibly moving. been there. ezra furman does it again.
I’m in bits. Tears streaming. ‘We ride along through the silent dusk while the moon gets drunk and high
It’s a cold white stone up in heaven alone and I’ve seen its darker side’. Best line of the century. Thank you Ezra. See you at the Roundhouse. x
Best song of all time, whatever you do ezra, please don't stop writing these wonderful songs.
This might be the best song I have heard in several years
This song hits in all the ways I need right now. Thanks, Ezra.
RAW. REAL. What a perfect song for the times. Thank you. Now is the best time to assess who and what is real. I feel like rock and punk got a new lease on life. I've seen so many videos of shows from the 70's and 80's that i wanted to experience by finding a time machine... Ezra has invented a time machine for us all.
Ezra, you bring such deep insight into every topic you touch. Not to mention fabulous production.
beautiful song. getting a Dylan vibe almost and digging it. Hope you're doing well Ezra! As someone who has been in and out of psych wings I have to say this song really moved me. Thank you!
Much underrated artist
this sounds like the feeling of sitting in a slightly damp jacket in a warm car looking out the rainy, humid window at the blurry neon shopping strip lights
Subtil, émouvant, percutant ! Ezra, je t'aime !
This song is truly beautiful, thank you.
Amazing song Fr
Wow....just wow
Superfab and groovy poohs!

Ezra do you plan on releasing the full version of Little World? I am dying to hear it
Feeling very lgbt 💜💜💜
Only 4k views. 🥺
no, YOU'RE crying
Nearly as good as hearing it at Newport
Its Just Uncontroversy
Things I saw were so terrible
Can’t remember
Just a mushroom cloud and that was all
Be careful with me
I’m just a controversy
Touch me
You might get what I got
It isn’t really much
Isn’t really a lot
Just some things
Others have forgot
Had wings once
Maybe I didn’t fly enough
Now they’re lost
and its cold out here
I can feel the frost
Most are lost
and don’t even know it
That’s our loss
Just lying in bed
Wondering what to do
If I get up
What will that do
Some things you hear are true
Some things are false
How to know
Is what is inside of you
Was it something from the past
or do you understand at last
The actors are cast
Lies in overcast
Can’t last
Soon the truth will rain down
On me and you
This I tell you is true
