Out Into The Open

 


Out Into The Open

Written by Scott Wainwright


Hey You look a little green around the gills

Sit down and tell me your ills

What's a matter with that now?

Can't see the wood for the trees

Can't see my feet for my knees

Come on now, take that bow


(chorus)

Lets get it out into the open

Leaning on oblivion

Buckle up and offer a token

Life is for the living


Time is as long as a rope

Try using a little more soap

What's a matter with that now?

So they tarred you with the same old brush

Slow down now, what is the rush?

Come on now, take that bow


(chorus)


You've been caught now, swinging that lead

It could be worse, you could be dead

But you got through somehow

There's a chip on your shoulder

I had one when I was older

But I am younger than that now
