Tin Foil Phoenix - The Outside lyrics

I said my goodbyes and shut my eyes I turned my back to the outside And thought about the things that made me crazy Like re-runs of McHale's Navy And of the day "the meteorite" came down Near the edge of town From miles around people reported seeing the small greys And feeling very heavy Hey – Was that the one that got away Like it was ever really here anyway Big enough to swallow you whole And good enough to beat you again and again On the outside - Everything was pretty there And all that other hippie sh** you outlawed From the outside - Everyone seemed unafraid Inside each other's inner space was churning You swore you'd come back for me What a catastrophe – That promise atrophied The moment it left your mouth it was doomed Like pins and needles swarming a hot-air balloon And outside of my window - A strange red glow Real horrorshow And though I wanted to look something fierce I remembered my training and just went limp Hey – Was that the one that got away Like it was ever really here anyway Big enough to swallow you whole And good enough to beat you again and again On the outside - Everything was pretty there And all that other hippie sh** you outlawed From the outside - Everyone seemed unafraid Inside each other's inner space was churning
