Lyrics

Outsider

Taking my time
To find a new smile on my face
Wondering how
I'm back here now again

My feet won't run
I've slowed right down in my mind
The clocks are on strike
They will not tell the time

Ooh, ooh
And every face still looks the same to me
I can't hear the words
Won't hear the signs they speak of
Ooh, ooh

I'm an outsider
Standing on the lonely ground
It doesn't matter what you say
Doesn't matter who you've found

Traded in my past
Traded in my old ways
Now I'm an outsider
Standing on the lonely ground

Ooh, ooh
Standing on the lonely ground
Standing on the lonely ground
