The James Clark Institute - The World I Used To Live In lyrics

Clark The law professor's not returning my calls He's busy making up brand new laws In case he ever catches me with his daughter again I'm finding out that I can no longer visit the world I used to live in. The curator's not willing to admit She used to like me like she liked your exhibits Now I'm on the outside wondering: 'Should I peek in?' Get a final glimpse of the world that I used to live in. Oh, I'm the outsider, nail biter, town crier crying to the extreme She's the sidewinder, squeezing tighter, k**ing off the fighter in me. The entrepreneur has offered me a position Shaming my soul only under one condition That I leave his big sister alone and let her win Be the champion of the world that I used to live in. Oh, I'm the outsider, nail biter, town crier crying to the extreme She's the sidewinder, squeezing tighter, choking off the lover in me. The ceramic urns they are waiting to be busted By the jealous freak that she once stupidly trusted Now he's pathetically, esthetically all alone Pressed against the window of the world he thought he used to own. Now I'm on the outside wondering: 'Should I peek in?' Get myself a final glimpse of the world that I used to live in I can no longer visit the world I used to live in I'm no longer welcome in the world I used to live in.
