[Frank Zappa - Outside Now lyrics]
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-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I've got it i'll be sullen and withdrawn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
And sure enough JOE dreams up a few of those
Guitar notes that every executive
Despises: those low ones
Every exec knows it's only
The records with the
High squeally ones that get to be hit's
Except for Duane Eddy
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 other's dick
But that was only a bunch of imaginary
Notes I played just a little extra somethin'
To keep me goin' from day to day that's okay
I'll be gettin' outta here pretty soon
Then I won't have to live
In this ugly fuckin' room
Can't wait to see
I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now can't wait to see
I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now can't wait to see
I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now can't wait to see
I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now can't wait to see
I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now can't wait to see
I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now can't wait to see
I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now can't wait to see
I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now can't wait to see
I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now outside now
And JOE just lies there, dreaming imaginary
Guitar notes for years on end
Until finally they let him out
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-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I've got it i'll be sullen and withdrawn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
And sure enough JOE dreams up a few of those
Guitar notes that every executive
Despises: those low ones
Every exec knows it's only
The records with the
High squeally ones that get to be hit's
Except for Duane Eddy
Well, I guess that one did the trick

Can't wait to see
I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now can't wait to see
I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now can't wait to see
I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now can't wait to see
I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now can't wait to see
I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now can't wait to see
I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now can't wait to see
I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now can't wait to see
I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now can't wait to see
I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now outside now
And JOE just lies there, dreaming imaginary
