Mother Mother – The Stand Lyrics 14 years ago
I think he keeps himself distracted with:

Tell me your weakness
Oh, I keep it a secret
Oh come on, just one vice
All right, it's vodka on ice
But then there's women on bikes, or just the women who straddle
Oh now you are a handful
I forgot about handfuls

From his terrible fear of the shitty world we live in, where everyone's all the same and equally as useless and consumptive...:

Tell me your fears
Okay, it's everyone here
You mean just all of the people
Yeah, and all of their peers
And all of their pets, and their chandeliers
And their cigarettes, I haven't smoked in years

And how he possibly believes that space would be a better place to live, because it's so big and comfy, but it's cold and lonely, and us humans can't just go out there (in our bodies anyways ;]):

Talk about space.
Well it's a beautiful place
But it's so damn cold
Just for the human race, but for the planets and the stars
And everything else and Mars
It's like paradise, spread out with a butter knife

I mentioned the leaving of the body because he mentions not being able to:

I can hardly stand the sight of it all
I can hardly stand the sound of it all
I can hardly stand the taste of it all
I can hardly stand the smell of it all

...Being almost all of our "bodily," PHYSICAL/NEUROLOGICAL senses... it's clear that he's tired of perceiving earth from his current bodily perception.

Personally, I agree... Everyone's fucked and they don't even know.
