[Verse 1]
It starts with this tingle, this whoosh and this spin
Over every inch of my skin
Like a tattoo of goose bumps or a harsh violin
Itching every inch of my skin

[Pre-Chorus]
It's the feeling of hearing my mother sing
An electric wave like a constant ring
Through all my whole body, pushing out, then in
Pulling every inch, every inch of my skin

[Chorus]
Rip me apart, shoot me straight through the dark
I'm a journeyman
Toss me about, fling me inside and out
Take me over
I'm a journeyman
A journeyman

[Verse 2]
The crack of this lightning hits straight to my chest
If I was unconscious, I'd rest
But I'm wide as hell, not missing a thing
And then, my head starts to spin
[Pre-Chorus]
It's the feeling of hearing my mother sing
The most moving, impressive, important thing
It hurts so deep, so tired I weep
Let it take over me, every inch of my skin

[Chorus]
Rip me apart, shoot me straight through the dark
I'm a journeyman
Toss me about, fling me inside and out
Take me over
Rip me apart, shoot me straight through the dark
I'm a journeyman
Toss me about, fling me inside and out
Take me over
I'm a journeyman
A journeyman

[Bridge]
I'm a with-air-tripper, a space-I-ripper
I'm a nomad roamer, a throw-that loner
There's nothing to hold me down, I'm thrown and pushed around
Engulf me with this awful sound, oh

[Chorus]
Rip me apart, shoot me straight through the dark
I'm a journeyman
Toss me about, fling me inside and out
Take me over
Rip me apart, shoot me straight through the dark
I'm a journeyman
Toss me about, fling me inside and out
Take me over
Take me over
