Inside And Out - 2000 Digital Remaster

Seems they're letting him out next year
He's behaving himself, I hear
Governor Conway says it will be fine
Just as long as he can tow the line

It's the same old story
But it says here, "Mom, you're not to worry"
'Cause some you lose and some you lose

At the party, he was on his own
All he did was say he'd take her home
But it seems they didn't go straight there
'Twas on the porch, she told him
"Put your hand here"

Yes, it's that same old story
They told her mom she's not to worry

"If what she says is so
We'll never let him go"

Never a word could be heard
Not even the sound of a bird
Singing it over again, telling a different story
Never the same as before
See the summer going out by the door
And now that you've paid for those lies
Get another disguise

It's 20 years now since our Kid came free
Oh, I remember August '53
But it wasn't quite like they said
With that behind you, you can't plan ahead
Yes, it's the same old story
They say you're free, don't worry
What they said is not so
They'll never let you go

Never a word could be heard
Not even the sound of a bird
Singing it over again, telling a different story
Never the same as before
See the summer going out by the door
And now that you've paid for those lies
Get another disguise
