Lyrics

Like a thief in the night
a coward from a fight
with the part called trust
you left in the moonlight

took the part of me
I can't get back
left in a world
I'm so off track

[ chorus ] on the outside looking in
or on the inside looking out
now my life is left with doubt
on the outside looking in
or on the inside,
looking out

the world I must face
around a stranger's face
among empty grins
I feel out of place

[ bridge ] when angels are gone
the devils will stray
when the cat is gone
the mice will play
and when I was gone
you went away

[ chorus ] on the outside looking in
or on the inside looking out
now my life is left with doubt
on the outside looking in
or on the inside,
looking out

[ instrumental ]

it's a total disgrace
the pain won't erase
makes me feel left out
and just in the way

[ chorus ] on the outside looking in
or on the inside looking out
now my life is left with doubt
on the outside looking in
or on the inside,
looking out
