Lyrics Jon Oliva's Pain

Jon Oliva's Pain

Outside the Door

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
