Outside In The Snow Lyrics

(Verse)
Take your pride
Throw it on the ground
Put on a shepherd's cap
To replace your crown
Abandon your wing tips
For a sturdy issue
You got a long way to go
Better lace up your boots
There is only one place to go
Where no one's had met it
Out shoveling coal

(Chorus 1)
You got to stand outside
Oh, you got to stand outside
Yea, you got to stand outside
Outside but also in the snow

(Verse)
And take your meat
Feed it to the gulls
Take all your foundations
Bash them on the rocks
Human kindness
Is a skinny old cow
But you got no other milk
To rely on now
What can you do?
And your luck can stand
When you can count all your riches on the head of a pin

(Chorus 2)
You better stand outside
Yea, you got to stand outside
Oh, you got to stand outside
I hope somebody lets you in

(Verse)
There's a line behind the hill
And you can't step back across
You're a free man now
Like all free men
You got to beg for the things you lost
You can walk all the way to the eastern coast
But it's all to the western shore
But you'll never never never be free
Til you stand at the foot of the door

(Chorus 1)
You got to stand outside
Oh, you got to stand outside
Yea, you got to stand outside
Outside but also in the snow

(Verse)
When all your money
All your fortunate bread
Flips over the rail with the 6th horse
When it breaks to the left
When you're down
And your friends turn their backs
Oh when you're scrounding for tickets while they close down the track

(Chorus 3)
You got to stand (stand outside)
Yea, you got to stand (stand outside)
Oh, you got to stand (stand outside)
Outside can also in the snow
