They took away all of my favorite toys, mama
They fill my head with a constant noise, mama
They said they'll take me but they don't say when, mama
They went away but now they're back again
I can hear them in the night
See the way their tongues untie
And if I never do nothing again
I'm on the outside
Won't you let me in?
I ask them nightly if they'll let me go, Mother
I ask them "please" but they still said "NO!", Mother
Now I don't know when you will see me again, Mother
Why don't the angels pick me for their friend?
I can hear them in the night
See the way their tongues untie
And if I never do nothing again
I'm on the outside, won't you let me in?
And now I'm swimming through sea of wire
Like when you wake up with your head on fire
No sense in hiding cuz they know where you've been
I'm on the outside won't you let me in?
They tell me stories but I don't remember anything
You can't control the tiny forces that the darkness brings
And now it's over even before it begins
I'm on the outside, won't you let me in?
