lyrics

The Outcasts

Here on the dark side. On the wrong side of the street. Oh my campadres, we can never go back, never never go back. All of the mongrels snarl, and the children cry out. All of the wise old ones hide their eyes as we slink and swagger past.

We can never go back. We can never go back. We can never go back to those golden days because we have changed.

All of the plants shrink back like paper from a flame, and in the underbrush the creatures shriek and scatter half insane. Like lightning to a metal rod, trouble seeks our frames. We can’t escape what we have done and nothing will ever be the same.

We can never go back. We can never go back. We can never go back to those golden days
because we have changed.

They can taste it on our fetid breath and it’s written upon our faces. They can see it in the way we walk, in the way we mutter, the way we pace that we are the outcasts, denied contact. The only company that we can keep are other outcasts like you and me.

We can never go back. We can never go back. We can never go back to those golden days
because we have changed.
