The Outsider Lyrics

Unlucky is the man who lives in doorways who grows coins from hands,

Who took one for you and who took one for me.

Lonely the solar Buddha with feathers, who waits for the moon to stop waning,

Who smiles and takes one for free.

I can’t stay for this summer or stay inside of me.

Waving is the cat, (but he’s not), he’s beckoning children from school,

He’s urging their mothers to flee.

Ray is wearing masks because he’s lovely

He’s bringing his candles today

He's waiting for quarter past three

I can’t stay for this summer or stay inside of me.

If only people spoke of what they had done, instead of what they hoped they would do,

There would be so much silence.

I can’t stay for this summer or stay inside of me.
