Stay On The Outside (2007)

COULD HAVE BEEN, SHOULD HAVE BEEN 1,2,3
BUT RECENTLY SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED TO ME.
EVERYTHING ALWAYS CAME EASILY
YET TODAY I WOKE UP AND FELT NOTHING.

COULD I BE, FINALLY, FINDING OUT
THAT THERES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WORTH SHOUTING ABOUT?
AND FACED WITH THE CHOICE OF JUST LOSING MY VOICE,
I’D RATHER SHUT UP AND SAY NOTHING?

ON THE OUTSIDE
WE HAVE TO STICK TOGETHER.
BUT- ON THE DOWNSIDE
YOU’D JUST GET IN THE WAY.
I SEE GREY SKIES AHEAD, AND I FEEL A LITTLE BETTER.
I SEE GREY SKIES AHEAD, AND THATS FINE BY ME.

OH, ALL THE RIGHT PEOPLE SEEM SQUEAKY CLEAN-
WELL ALL THE RIGHT PEOPLE MEAN NOTHING TO ME.
CREEPING AND CHEATING JUST TO STAY ON TRACK,
THEY’LL OFFER ONE HAND THEN PUT A KNIFE IN YOUR BACK.
YOU’LL NOTICE THAT SOMETHING IS TERRIBLY WRONG
FIRST THEY OFFER THE WORLD- THEN THEY TURN
AND THEY’RE GONE.
SEEMS THEY KNEW FROM THE START YOU COULD NEVER BELONG.
YOU CAME FROM THE OUTSIDE, YOU’LL STAY ON THE OUTSIDE.

WELL WE’RE FROM THE OUTSIDE – WELCOME ABOARD !
AND WERE HAPPY TO OFFER YOU NOTHING AT ALL !
THIS IS NOT ENTERTAINMENT, SO MAKE NO MISTAKE-
IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR ANSWERS, YOU LOOKED THE WRONG WAY.
YES, IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR ANSWERS YOU’RE IN THE WRONG PLACE
WE’VE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WORTH TRYING TO SAY.
JUST…
WATCH WHERE YOU’RE WALKING.
AND WHO’S IN YOUR WAY.
AND STAY ON THE OUTSIDE.
STAY ON THE OUTSIDE.
