standing on the inside
Standin' on the outside Lookin' in You know it's been a long time, Don't know where to begin So much I want to say,  so much I want to do, Friends are tellin' me It's time that you broke through.   I've been through the hard times Of searchin' souls, You know it's been a hard climb From rock and roll. Now I feel a need in me,  so hard to explain, Now I've seen the joy and light, And I want to remain.   Standin' on the inside, I finally broke that line, Ring around the circle, Don't you know that it feels so fine. Every waking moment I just want to sing the news That I'm standin' on the inside, I kicked away them blues.   All the phony faces Stand in line. All the back-slappers Know my name this time. Now that I've turned the lock,  now that I've opened the door, I won't be on the outside, not anymore, not any more.   Standin' on the inside, I finally broke that line, Ring around the circle, Don't you know that it feels so fine. Every waking moment I just want to sing the news That I'm standin' on the inside, I pushed away them blues.   Now that I've turned the lock,  now that I've opened the door, I won't be on the outside, not anymore.   Standin' on the inside, I finally broke that line, Ring around the circle, Don't you know that it feels so fine. Every waking moment I just wanna sing the news That I'm standin' on the inside, I kicked away them blues.   Standin' on the inside, Standin' on the inside, I kicked, kicked, kicked it, Standin' on the inside, Standin' on the inside, I kicked, kicked
