Standing On The Inside

Standing on the outside looking in
You know it's been a long time, don't know where to begin
So much I wanna say, so much I wanna do
Friends are telling me it's time that you broke through
I've been through the hard times of searching souls
You know it's been a hard climb from rock-'n-roll
Now I feel the need in me, so hard to explain
Now I've seen the joy in light and I wanna remain

Standing on the inside,
I finally broke that line
Ring around the circle,
don't you know that it feels so fine
Every waking moment I just wanna sing the news
That I'm standing on the inside,
I kicked away them blues

All the phoney faces stand in line
All the backslappers know my name's time
Now that I've turned the luck, now that I've opened the door
I won't be on the outside, no, anymore

Standing on the inside,
I finally broke that line
Ring around the circle,
don't you know that it feels so fine
Every waking moment I just wanna sing the news
That I'm standing on the inside,
I pushed away them blues

Now that I've turned the luck, now that I've opened the door
I won't be on the outside, no, anymore

Standing on the inside,
I finally broke that line
Ring around the circle,
don't you know that it feels so fine
Every waking moment I just wanna sing the news
That I'm standing on the inside,
I kicked away them blues

Standing on the inside -
standing on the inside
I kicked a, kicked a, kicked a, kicked a
Standing on the inside -
standing on the inside
I kicked a, kicked a, kicked a, kicked a ....
