Jon Oliva's Pain - Outside The Door lyrics

[Written by Jon Oliva] As I walk in the shadows of darkness Without a place to hide You know I can't help but look over my shoulder I'm waiting for the knife to arrive And I know I might seem a little bit paranoid You know, it's just my way Sometimes I get the feeling I'm on borrowed time Anyway, that's what most of us say Something's taking over me I don't know just what could it be Feels strange, like a kind of glow What it is I don't want to know And in another life I swear I've heard it all before And in the dead of night It sits just outside the door I believe that tonight I'll be wasted Can't stop me when I'm out on the town You know, I wake dreaming about tomorrow And what it may all bring to light You know, I believe all men were created equal Red, yellow, black or white Something's taking over me I don't know just what could it be Feels strange, like a kind of glow What it is I don't want to know And in another life I swear I've heard it all before And in the dead of night It sits just outside the door I believe that tonight I'll be wasted Can't stop me when I'm out on the town I can feel it, I can taste it Can't stop me when I'm out on the town
