Lyrics
1st Verse
Driving along
Streets lined with homes,
Where he doesn't belong,
He's just driving alone.
Streets deserted,
Everyone's inside,
Uninvited
Driving away he cries.
Chorus
On the outside
Looking inside.
On the outside
Looking inside.
Feel like crying,
A little bit like dying,
On the inside,
Always on the outside.
2nd Verse
Five o'clock shadows
Edge along the wall,
He's got nowhere to go,
No one to call.
Claustrophobic,
Four walls closing in,
Feeling awful sick
Of the life he's living.
Chorus
On the outside
Looking inside.
On the outside
Looking inside.
Feel like crying,
A little bit like dying,
On the inside,
Always on the outside.
Bridge
Paying the price
For a little paradise,
Forgetting the cost
Of everything he's lost.
Nights all alone
Far from his home,
Driving along
Where he doesn't belong.
Chorus
On the outside
Looking inside.
On the outside
Looking inside.
Feel like crying,
A little bit like dying,
On the inside,
Always on the outside.
Always on the outside.
