Violent Femmes - Outside The Palace lyrics

I've been outside the gate

I still don't feel that I made any mistake

when I got off that train

I felt my feet hit the ground

I didn't want to go

where that gravy train was bound

GOD help me to see

I've been loved all along

and not to get too confused

between the moonlight and the dawn

if I go back to the palace

I'll walk right thru' the gate

nobody knows how much here was at stake

I might get on that train

in feel the wheel on the train

move it on up the mountain like a foregone fact

GOD help me to know

I've been in love my whole life

and not to get so confused

between the struggle and the strife
