World Outside Your Window lyrics

Well, everyone has said that I might go

'Cos my red suitcase and my Ray Bans weren't quite so

I'd bear the heavy wind and rain that falls

I'll never come back again

'Cos you know how I laugh when winter shows her hand

With that picture framed, there is a saddest thing you'll see

But it bought me time and a place that love could be

And since I'm goin' now, please rearrange

'Cos I'd like to think that things have changed

I don't believe you'll be open anymore

So tell me if you want to see

A world outside your window

A world outside your window isn't free

Oh and tell me if you want to catch that feelin' of redemption

That feelin' of redemption don't do much for me

Well, everyone was hopin' you would stay awhile

Tell us 'bout that great land in the South

Then you'll see that man

Now ain't he under offer?

Well, I tell you child, you go wash out your mouth

So tell me if you want to see

A world outside your window

A world outside your window isn't free

Oh and tell me if you want to catch that feelin' of redemption

That feelin' of redemption don't do much for me

Now what can you say?

I'm hidin' in the belfry

How can you say I want to catch time?

How can you say you know anythin' about me?

Because I knew about you but I won't care about you

Now, everyone has come to see

But some things have to die

Flowers out for this graphic haunt

But they all pass me by

But the age is not

A funny game

It don't give such a buzz

And when I winced with ignorance

I had to kiss this dust

So tell me if you want to see

A world outside your window

A world outside your window isn't free

Oh, and tell me if you want to catch that feelin' of redemption

That feelin' of redemption don't do much for me
