lyrics

The law professor’s not returning my calls,
He’s busy making up brand new laws,
In case he ever catches me with his daughter again.
I’m finding out that I can no longer visit the world I used to live in.

The curator’s not willing to admit,
She used to like me like she liked your exhibits.
Now I’m on the outside wondering to myself should I peek in?
Get a final glimpse of the world that I used to live in.

Oh I’m the outsider, nail biter, town crier.
Crying to the extreme.
She’s the sidewinder, squeezing tighter,
Killing off the fighter in me.

The entrepreneur has offered me a position.
Shaming my soul only under one condition,
That I leave his big sister alone and let her win.
Be the champion of the world that I used to live in.

Oh I’m the outsider, nail biter, town crier,
Crying to the extreme.
She’s the sidewinder, squeezing tighter,
Choking off the lover in me.

The ceramic urns are waiting to be busted.
By the jealous freak that she once stupidly trusted.
Now he’s pathetically, esthetically all alone.
Pressed against the window of the world he thought he used to own.

Now I’m on the outside wondering to myself should I peek in.
Get myself a final glimpse of the world that I used to live in.
I can no longer visit the world I used to live in.
I’m no longer welcome in the world I used to live in.
