The Groovebirds - Looking in from the Outside Lyrics

There's a lock on the basement door
There's a spot on the kitchen floor
It don't mean he's bad; just means he's lazy

And there's a cook in the back of the store
And the temp in there is a hundred and four
Don't mean the heat's what made him crazy

And if you live long enough I'm sure you'll see what I mean
That you can't always get to the truth from a part of the scene
Cause when the "if and then" and the 
"Who and when" complicate everything that you glean  
We're all looking in from the outside

There's a ruckus in the Union hall
And the punch smells of alcohol
It don't mean the boss man cast the brandy

She caught him looking in the vending aisle
Licked her lips and she gave him a smile
Doesn't mean she'd like to taste his candy 

By now I'm sure you've heard just enough of these scenes
To be scratching your head and wondering what it all means 
Here's hoping next time you might take it slow
When commencing to spilling the beans 
We're all looking in from the outside

And if you live long enough I'm sure you'll see what I mean
That you can't get to the truth from a part of the scene
Here's hoping next time you might take it slow
When commencing to spilling them beans 
We're all looking in from the outside 

There's a lock on the basement door
There's a spot on the kitchen floor
Don't mean he's bad; just means he's lazy

And there's a cook in the back of the store
And the temp in there is a hundred and four
Don't mean the heat's what made him crazy

There's a cauckus in the Union hall
And the punch smells of alcohol
Don't mean the boss man cast the brandy

She caught him looking in the vending aisle
Licked her lips as she gave him a smile
Doesn't mean she'd like to taste his candy 

We're all looking in from the outside
We're all looking in from the outside 

We're all looking in from the outside
