Lyrics

Nick he says he’s got a trick

He says he can get off without it

Sandy knows the only way

She says you can’t get nowhere with it

In the time it takes to dream

You can crush a diamond ring

I guess you never thought about

You can’t get nowhere with/without it

Sandy told me once you got a dream you better follow

Everyone wants to believe that

You’re just trying to make a dollar

In the time it takes to scream

You could crush a diamond ring

I guess you never thought about it

You can’t get nowhere with/without it

Nick he says he wants to care

But his attempt gets lost out there

Sandy smiles and nods

and brings the brush up to her hair

She says I see only what you don’t

I know what goes on out there

I’m on the inside out of here

On the inside out of here

Like a slow explosion first

The smoke came rising through the air

Then from the flames his words came

Quickly guided by despair

But Sandy how can you believe

In what you cannot see or hear

Sandy smiled and gently nodded

I’m on the inside out of

I’m on the inside out of

On the inside out of here
