Todd Lerner - Outside of the Room lyrics

I step out of the room I'm outside of the room These new people here act strange They don't do things the same They talk about philosophy They work and laugh and sing They say, “Not thinking is the sin” I say, “Explain, so I can understand” This makes them happy and they tell me I may be their kind of man “Come out here more into the light,” they say “Out here the truth is never gray” They are confident and free The blinding sunlight makes me squint to see They lift their heads and smile and look right into me They make me nervous and confused I'm not sure what to do I sneak away back to the room Back to those people in the room I say, “Look at them out there” I scream, but they don't hear They just nod and jiggle and they don't even care Then I blink and things come clear And the people in the room look small Then they shrink some more and soon they disappear Then there's no reason left to stay So I turn and leave the room
