There Outside Lyrics

Here on the sprung bed

Staring at the wall...

Crack patterns in the plaster

Waltzing with themselves...

The bell is ringing and the

Sister calls...

Somebody has come for

Someone else...

Here on the dial plate

There is no hour hands

I drink this tasteless time

When taking pills...

A single cigarette

At my command

Gonna get me

Everything I will...

I look out at the trees

That shake their branches free...

Are you there outside?

Behind the door

locked and blocked, seems forevermore...

Tell me, tell me

Are you there outside?

Are you there outside?

Behind the bars

That hold me tied

To my own scars...

Tell me, tell me

Are you there outside?

Cats chat

Red spots on the sheet

Fat bottoms float by squeezed in

The pink and blue...

Tooth-less mouth sucking

A pack of sweets

Telling something

But I hear: I love you...

Look at the poplar trees

Their yellow leaves so free...

Are you there outside?

Behind the door

That's locked and blocked, it seems, forevermore...

Tell me, tell me

Are you there outside?

Are you there outside?

Behind the bars

That hold me tied

To my own scars...

Tell me, tell me

Are you there outside?

Schizophrenia

Liquid and languid...

Psychopaths

Keep on singing and banging...

Bathrobes stinking

Of diseased bodies...

Stop explaining to me

What God is!

What I was doing wrong

Was only in my head

What I feel for real

Is this hospital bed

When I'm free

On my own track

Better believe, I won't get back!

Are you there outside?

Behind the door

That's locked and blocked, it seems, forevermore...

Tell me, tell me,

Are you there outside?

Are you there outside?

Behind the bars

That hold me here tied

To my own scars...

Tell me, tell me,

Are you there outside?
