Outside Inside

The Tubes Outside Inside Lyrics
1.She's A Beauty

Step right up and don't be shy,
Because you will not believe your eyes.
She's right here behind the glass
And you're gonna like her,
'cause she's got class.
You can look inside another world.
You get to talk to a pretty girl.
She's everything you dream about...
But don't fall in love...

She's a beauty ---
One in a million girls,
She's a beauty.
Why would i lie?
Why would i lie?

You can say anything you like,
But you can't touch the merchandise.
She'll give you every pennies worth,
But it will cost you a dollar first.
You can step outside your little world.
You can talk to a pretty girl.
She's everything you dream about...
But don't fall in love...

She's a beauty ---
One in a million girls,
She's a beauty.
Why would i lie?
Why would i lie?


2.No Not Again

Once you are burned, you are twice shy
That's a lesson that i'm still trying to learn
And it's one i forget as you walk by
I'm tempted to ask you to return

And like a fool i stand and wonder
Chance slips by me and the words just don't get out, no

No not again
No not again
No, no, no not again
Not again, no, no, no, no no

I wander around on the sidewalk
Half hoping that we will happen to meet
For maybe a drink and some small talk
Maybe dinner at a little place down the street

And then i see you with another
I won't ever make the same mistake again, no

No not again no not again
No, no, no not again
Oh no not again
No, no

Never say you're sorry
'cause nobody ever cares
Spend some money on something funny

Or go anywhere
No not again
No not again
No, no, no not again
Oh no not again
No, no

No not again
No not again
No, no, not again
Oh no not again
Oh no not again
No, not again


3.Out Of The Business

Hey buddy, how 'bout a smoke?
I'm down on my luck.
At the end of my rope, i feel pretty rough.
I just got the sack, take a number please.
I'm never looking back.
I'm out on the street.
I started, down in the dump,
Thought i paid my dues,
But i was first when they had
The bad news.
I always dreamed of walking out.
Punch that guy right in the mouth,
But i never had the guts.
Now i know i got the stuff.
There's no mistaking it now...

I'm out of the business
Out of the business ---
Into rock and roll.

All right, 'bout time,
Stuffed shirts where the sun don't shine,
Late nights, long days,
I don't need the white collar race.
Who wants a gray flannel suit?
I'll throw in a tie,
Or some italian boots? it's all right in style.
I've had it up to here, with three button whores.
I don't regret that i'm
Walking out the door.
(chorus)


4.The Monkey Time

Now there's a place right across town, whenever you're ready
Where the people gather 'round, whenever they're ready
And then the music begins to play
You feel a groove comin' on its way

Are you ready? yes i'm ready.
You get yours, i got mine
For the monkey time, monkey time

Now this dance that the people do, don't know how it started
All i know is when the beat brings the feel
It's hard to get parted
And then the music begins to play
And automatically you're on your way

Are you ready? yes i'm ready.
You get yours, i got mine
For the monkey time, monkey time

Do the monkey yeah,
Do the monkey yeah,
Do the monkey yeah, yeah
Do the monkey yeah, yeah

Twist them hips
Let your backbone slip
Now move your feet
Get on the beat

Are you ready? yes i'm ready.
You get yours, i got mine
For the monkey time, monkey time

Say fee, are you ready tonight?
I'm ready baby.
But you're ready for what, fee?
I'm ready to do the monkey.
But are you ready for my monkey?
I'm ready, and my monkey's ready.
Your monkey?! oooo, you'd better put that baby on a chain!
Say baby, my monkey know what he talkin' about.
Now stop it fee!

Want a whole lot o' love tonight
Treat your monkey right
Want a whole lot o' love tonight
Monkey time tonight


5.Glass House

Standing here
Stripped to the bone
Every line on my face
Is cut out of stone

I'm a man in a glass house tonight
And i only want to treat you right
I love, i love you true
I love, i love you true

You say you want to go
And find some new thrills
Hey baby you'll know
You got to climb that hill

I'm a man in a glass house tonight
And i only want to treat you right
I love, i love you true
I love, i love you true

I know that there will be better days
If we're together then it must be that way
Stay with me a little bit longer
We'll both be happy and a whole lot stronger

Our love, our love, our love
Baby, maybe we should feel the same way

Hey baby don't go
In a little more time
I'll make you know
What's good for your kind

I'm a man in a glass house tonight
And i only want to treat you right
I love, i love you true
I love, i love you true


6.Wild Women Of Wongo

From the foggy woggy banks
Of the limpopo river,
There come the sounds of
Female ecstasy (i shiver),
Wet and wanton, their cries
Caress by swollen ears, with building
Fears, of this forsaken land of years.
Visions of furious fire-goddesses wielding
Blunt spits; figments of erotic escapades
With all branches of armed forces.
Surrounding, abounding,
They stoop to conquer with sighs and
Anxious whispers in a slow, steady rhythm.

Wongo.
Wild women of wongo.
How does their song go?
Make a me wan mo, (wild women!)
Wongo.
No man can say no.
Wild women of wongo.
How does their song go?
Like this...

On the dank, steaming shores of wongo;
Its black sand beaches so bongo.
Patterned with leech-ridden creatures;
Bodies branded with cicatrix features
That once screeched through the
Heart of the congo.
Stacked and berserk
They tower and flail all about.
Wailing sounds in tongues only ancient
Insects would understand or figure out.
Wild, willing, wenches; strutting and
Struggling, as they yank hanks of hair,
Rooting and rutting in heat,
As the earth heaves beneath their feet.
And so on and on the lores of wongo go,
Throughout the sands of time.
Singing their song of love, so rare,
To only the chosen ones who dare.
The course of events, time after time.
The tradition remains the same.
A bloodcurdling scream, one of pure
Ecstasy, rings out; then it came ---
The ultimate sacrifice.
Their wasp waisted figures twitch and twine,
Their sting is lethal, and i know i'm in for mine.
How can i resist this onslaught of love;
From over, from under, from behind and above.
I wish i could be their wongo king ---
If only i knew the song to sing.
Wongo.


7.Tip Of My Tongue

You somehow knew we'd meet again.
Now i understand.
If i look surprised don't be alarmed,
I've got you, in my arms.
I can almost taste it, and when i can,
(i won't waste the chance).
Just a lick away,
(oh so close)
And baby there's one thing i know...

My heart speaks but the words play
On the tip of my tongue...
And no matter
What my lips say, you are still the only one.

Never been too cunning, i'm no linguist,
But i can tell you this ---
Ever since i left you i've been lost,
I'm walking in a fog.
We can lick this problem;
We can work it out.
Don't be impatient, and don't you run,
'cause i want you on the tip of my...
I can't find the words.
My lips are on their own,
And my speech is slurred...
Can't even talk on the telephone.
I'll take a tip from you.
You say my french is pretty good,
So that's what i'll use...
If i could!


8.Fantastic Delusion

Look around tell me what you see
The sky is blue and the trees are green
But what you see isn't what it seems
It's all part of a cruel scheme

Look closer, you can see the flaws
The holes in the floor and cracks in the walls
That gleam in your eye isn't there at all
It's painted on like a face of a doll

So it begins, fantastic delusion
Time and again, time and again

I see you dancin' as they pull the string
And droolin' when that dinner bell rings
Don't you wish you could stop wishin'
You're not even listenin'

And if what i say is the truth
If the trees aren't green and the sky's not blue
Then i'm not really losin' you
One thing for sure, i'm real confused

So it begins, fantastic delusion
Time and again, time and again

Shuffling back and forth all day
Most people never notice
But i'm not crazy and i know what i say
It's all hocus-pocus

Don't you wish you could stop wishin'
You're not even listenin'
One thing for sure it's real confusin'
Fantastic delusion


9.Drums

Drums, drums, drums.
Beat, beat, beat.
Drum beat, beat drum.
Drums, yeah! duga, duga, duga, cha...
Beat, yo! give me the drums.
Go man, go man.
Beat, beat, drums, drums, yeah, yeah, yea!
Duga, duga, duga, uh.
Let there be drums... now!


10.Theme Park

I'm goin' to the theme park
Lookin' for a thrill
Gonna stay 'til they close it
'til i get my fill
Spinning on a tilt-a-whirl
Nothin' like it in this world
Close your eyes and hold on tight
We can make it last all night

Can't wait 'til the summer starts
Goin' down to the theme park
Leave your cares in the parking lot
I lost my heart at the theme park
Can't wait 'til the summer starts
Leave your cares in the parking lot
Down at the theme park

I'm sliding down the matterhorn
I'm falling through the floor
Flying on a fantasy
Everyone can find a dream
Gonna make you feel so fine
Take a ride on love tonight

Can't wait 'til the summer starts
Goin' down to the theme park
Leave your cares in the parking lot
I lost my heart at the theme park
Can't wait 'til the summer starts
Leave your cares in the parking lot
Down at the theme park
