Lyrics
Outside Lookin In
Hey Doctor Oh doctor what are you doing there.
Standing in that vacant lot, singing in the air
Reach into you empty pocket for a light within
Doctor you're on the outside lookin in.
Hey sister oh sister , do you know this pain
Standing on the boulevard, crying in the rain
Are you still unhappy with that note you got from him
Sister you're on the outside lookin in.
Hey brother oh brother, with your slick degree
Up against the wall this time they dropped you to your knees
Smashed and blasted crying out for something to begin
Brother you're on the outside lookin in.
Hey father oh father,what became of you
Do you sit alone at night and wonder what I do
No one ever listened to the story's you would spin
Father, you're on the outside looking in
He singer oh singer, standing in the shade
Are you just looking back or leading the parade
Or are you pushing someone's camel through a pin
Singer you're on the outside looking in
