Lyrics

Outside

There you are dancin' at your altar
Beautiful earthling, dressed in cashmere
All your sound echoes through the canyons
Down below they're dreamin'
Hear the sirens screamin'
Another time, another world
Girls were boys and boys were girls
Find the glitter, in the litter
Like a haunt, it's got to move
Everybody needs some room
There's somethin' out there
There's a long straight road, out of the cold
And we can leave it all behind
I wanna get outside, baby, let's get outside
I wanna get outside, outside, of me
All I found the space between the spaces
Standin' in the nothin', and time reclaims you
Now as the wind will beat you down
And the wind the only sound
There's somethin' out there
There's a long straight road, out of the cold
And we can leave it all behind
I wanna get outside, baby, let's get outside
I wanna get outside, outside, of me
There's a long straight road, out of the cold
And we can leave it all behind
I wanna get outside, baby, let's get outside
I wanna get outside, outside, of me
