Lyrics

Outside

[Refrain]

Now

Not tomorrow

Yesterday

Not tomorrow

[Verse 1]

It happens today

The damage today

They fall on today

They beat on the outside

[Refrain]

And I'll stand by you now

Not tomorrow

It's happening now

Not tomorrow

[Verse 2]

It's happening now

The crazed in the hot-zone

The mental and diva's hands

The fisting of life

To the music outside

To the music outside

[Chorus]

It happens outside

The music is outside

It's happening outside

The music is outside

[Refrain]

It's happening now

Not tomorrow

Yesterday

Not tomorrow

[Chorus]

The music is outside

It's happening outside

The music is outside

The music is outside

[Outro]

Outside
