I am on the outside always looking in 
Living alongside your world never within 
Some times there are moments when I think I am involved 
But I never seem to stay, don't seem to fit 
I just don't belong 

I live at right angles to the people that I meet 
Because I am never still, not my soul and not my feet 
I could walk a thousand miles, and ride a thousand more 
My life seems worthless, just like footprints on the shore 

Living on the outside, the emptiness I feel 
Living on the outside, ruled by the hunger 

From the first taste of this altered truth 
I knew I could not live the way that others do 
Nothing can seem to fill the emptiness inside 
So still I search, never ever wait for the time or the tide 

Living on the outside, the emptiness I feel 
Living on the outside, a wound that cannot heal 
Living on the outside, the emptiness I feel 
Living on the outside, ruled by the hunger 

All of the blood, all of the wine 
Will become the same in time 

Nothing can seem to fill the emptiness inside 
So still I search, never wait for the time or the tide 
I am on the outside, always looking in 
Living alongside your world, never within
