From inside out to outside in!
Here today returned minus three seconds
Slowness is just a pause to go faster still
In the heat of day chilled by a cold thought
Eight fingers and two thumbs a darker rush
Clear liquor two hundred small tank miles
Living outside of me
Busy inside of another
Don't wanna be a mother
Living on the outside of me
Folks won't acutely listen
No script bein' disrespected
A long line for the rejected
Living on the outside of me
Built a steel cage in the name of fool's gold
Heartache's thin line pressed scraps of wood
A fifty fifty deal is half a part-time job for real
By the coolness he played limp in my arms
This was the ploy of a man seeking woman
Traditionally speaking I did not have to say
Living outside of me
Busy inside of another
Don't wanna be a mother
Living outside of me
Folks won't acutely listen
No script bein' disrespected
A long line for the rejected
Living outside of me
Outside of me
Outside of me
Inside another
Inside another
Living outside of me

LINGING OUTSIDE OF ME
Broke the sound barrier moments henceHere today returned minus three seconds
Slowness is just a pause to go faster still
In the heat of day chilled by a cold thought
Eight fingers and two thumbs a darker rush
Clear liquor two hundred small tank miles
Living outside of me
Busy inside of another
Don't wanna be a mother
Living on the outside of me
Folks won't acutely listen
No script bein' disrespected
A long line for the rejected
Living on the outside of me
Built a steel cage in the name of fool's gold
Heartache's thin line pressed scraps of wood
A fifty fifty deal is half a part-time job for real
By the coolness he played limp in my arms
This was the ploy of a man seeking woman
Traditionally speaking I did not have to say
Living outside of me
Busy inside of another
Don't wanna be a mother
Living outside of me
Folks won't acutely listen
No script bein' disrespected
A long line for the rejected
Living outside of me
Outside of me
Outside of me
Inside another
Inside another
Living outside of me
