Gerry Rafferty - Outside Looking In lyrics

It looked so good

From the outside

I couldn't want to join the crowd

It all looked different on the inside

It must have been my immigration

Cause that's for sure that where I wanted to

I thought I'd get out of the city

I took a trip down to the sea

I didn't stay too long

Because there was nothing there but sky and ocean

So it must have been my imagination

Calling out that there was where I wanted to be

Looking for something that might offer meaning

Looking for something that might make me feel alright

Alright yer!

Looking around for the right situation

Where I could believe what's happening

right in front of my eyes baby

I think I'll stay in one position

And just leave well enough alone

I'm never satisfied to love in disillusion

Oh yer it must be my imagination

Promising there's a better place to be

Looking for something that might offer meaning

Looking for something that might make me feel alright

Alright yer!

Looking around for the right situation

Where I could believe what's happening

right in front of my eyes baby
