The Time Traveller's Wife the Musical - Journeyman Lyrics


The song is written by Joss Stone and Dave Stewart. Sung by David Hunter.

HENRY:
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

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

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

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

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

(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
