[Verse 1]
Help me understand
There doesn't seem to be a plan
Here in motion
Grab the treasure from the streets
We got buried in the deep
Atlantic ocean

[Chorus]
I saw you as someone I wanted to trust
I saw you as everyone I wanted to fuck
Oh baby I want
I don't know what's good for me
But can't you tell
I'm living proof of exile in hell
Upside down
Insides out

[Verse 2]
I heard the talkers talk
When they talk their talk
In mute frustrations
Truth was on the leaves
Falling from the trees
As demonstration

[Chorus]
I saw you as someone I wanted to trust
I saw you as everyone I wanted to fuck
Oh baby I want
I don't know what's good for me
But can't you tell
I'm living proof of exile in hell
Upside down
My inside's out

Though best known as a guitarist and keyboardist for The Strokes, Hammond has also been performing periodic solo work since his 2006 debut album Yours To Keep.

Still a member of The Strokes despite the controversy surrounding and following their 2013 album Comedown Machine, Hammond began to gain more traction upon releasing his 2013 AHJ – EP under Strokes frontman Julian Casablancas‘ Cult Records Label.

Though still an official part of his bandmate’s label, he released his 2015 album Momentary Masters through Vagrant Records.
