I'm An Outsider Songtext
You know who I am
You know where I've been
Now I'm outside your mind
And I'm trying to get in

I'm standing out here
By your red velvet rope
Your bouncers all say
"Dude, you haven't a hope"
Is it members only?
The exclusive kind
Is it too expensive?
The world of your mind

But open the door
You will see who I am
Let me into your mind
Just give me a chance

I know what you're thinking
You probably think it's strange
You wonder what would happen if you
Welcomed me in there

Is it like Las Vegas?
Or a library?
In the cave of secrets
I wonder what I'll see
I met a talking zebra
A man with fifty eyes
I saw a fountain made of honey
I climbed a mountain in the sky

I know what you're thinking
You probably think it's strange
You wonder what would happen if you
Welcomed me in there

You know who I am
You know where I've been
Now I'm outside your mind
And I'm trying to get in
