Lyrics Frank Zappa

Frank Zappa

Outside Now

These executives have plooked the fuck out of me

And there's still a long time to go before I've

Paid my debt to society.

And all I ever really wanted to do was

Play the guitar n bend the string

like: Reent-toont-teent-toont-teenooneenoonee

I've got it

I'll be sullen and withdrawn -

I'll dwindle off into the twilight realm

Of my own secret thoughts!

I'll lay on my back here til dawn

In a semi-catatonic state

And dream of guitar notes

That would irritate

An executive kinda guy . . .

Well, I guess that one did the trick

If they only coulda heard it,

Half-a-dozen of em woulda strangled

While they was suckin on each others dick!

Yeah but that was only a bunch of imaginary

Notes I played -

Just a little extra somethin'

To keep me goin' from day to day,

But thats okay -

I'm gettin' outta here pretty soon -

Then I wont have to live

In this ugly fuckin room

I can't wait to see what its like

On the outside now . . .

And I can't wait to see what its like

On the outside now . . .

Now listen here

I can't wait to see what its like

On the outside now . . .

I mean it

I can't wait to see what its like

On the outside now . . .

Outside now

Outside now, yeah

(etc., etc., etc.)

One-two-three-four!
