Outside Looking In Lyrics - Stealers Wheel - Stealers Wheel

It looked so good from the outside, I couldn't wait to join the crowd 

It all looked different on the inside 

It must have been my imagination 

I felt so sure that was where I wanted to be 

I thought I'd get out of the city, I took a trip down to the sea 

I didn't stay too long 'cause there was nothing there but sky and ocean 

Oh yeah, it must have been my imagination 

I really thought that was where I wanted to be 

Looking for something that might have some meaning 

Looking for something that might make me feel alive 

Looking around for the right situation 

Where I can believe what's happening right in front of my eyes 

I think I'll stay in one position, and just leave well enough alone 

I'm never satisfied 'til I've been disillusioned 

Oh yeah, it must be my imagination 

I always think there's a better place to be
