Outside Looking In
So many words float by
Whispers on the wind
Just a stupid guy
Who once had a pleasing skin
So hot the fire we know
So clean the burning flame
Cooling embers glow
We don't regret what
We became after all those barren years
No one ever passed us the ball
We embraced more than some of our youthful fears
Abiding by the protocol
In one clean sweep they took it all
In one clean sweep they took it all
In one clean sweep they took it all
In one clean sweep they took it all
But we gave the rest away
The rain coming down
It doesn't feel quite right
But still i love the smell
And the softness in the night
All my years of yearning
And sofa cushion cash
Then decent times of earning
Got a seat at the big bash
We put behind us those barren fruitless years
No one ever passed us the ball
We embraced more than some of our youthful fears
Abiding by the protocol
In one clean sweep they took it all
In one clean sweep they took it all
In one clean sweep they took it all
In one clean sweep they took it all
And we gave the rest away
I count the ways I know I still annoy ya
Disconnected thoughts and ill timed flattery
Think back on better days of love and paranoia
We were sweaty poor and stupid but living so happily
We like the devil we know
We formed him out of hate
Gave him a beautiful bow
Told everyone he's great
Decided that up was now down
And laughter was a sin
i so miss being a clown
On the outside looking in
Whispers on the wind
Just a stupid guy
Who once had a pleasing skin
So hot the fire we know
So clean the burning flame
Cooling embers glow
We don't regret what
We became after all those barren years
No one ever passed us the ball
We embraced more than some of our youthful fears
Abiding by the protocol
In one clean sweep they took it all
In one clean sweep they took it all
In one clean sweep they took it all
In one clean sweep they took it all
But we gave the rest away
The rain coming down
It doesn't feel quite right
But still i love the smell
And the softness in the night
All my years of yearning
And sofa cushion cash
Then decent times of earning
Got a seat at the big bash
We put behind us those barren fruitless years
No one ever passed us the ball
We embraced more than some of our youthful fears
Abiding by the protocol
In one clean sweep they took it all
In one clean sweep they took it all
In one clean sweep they took it all
In one clean sweep they took it all
And we gave the rest away
I count the ways I know I still annoy ya
Disconnected thoughts and ill timed flattery
Think back on better days of love and paranoia
We were sweaty poor and stupid but living so happily
We like the devil we know
We formed him out of hate
Gave him a beautiful bow
Told everyone he's great
Decided that up was now down
And laughter was a sin
i so miss being a clown
On the outside looking in
