Part of Your World / Out There Songtext
von Scott & Ryceejo
Part of Your World / Out There Songtext
Safe behind these windows and these parapets of stone
Gazing at the people down below me
All my life I watch them as I hide up here alone
Hungry for the histories they show me
All my life I memorize their faces
Knowing them as they will never know me
All my life I wonder how it feels to pass a day
Not above them
But part of them
Look at this stuff
Isn′t it neat?
Wouldn't you think my collection′s complete?
Wouldn't you think I'm the girl
The girl who has everything?
Look at this trove
Treasures untold
How many wonders can one cavern hold?
Looking around here you′d think
Sure, she′s got everything
I've got gadgets and gizmo′s a-plenty
I've got whozits and whatzits galore
You want thingamabobs? I′ve got 20.
But who cares?
No big deal
I want more
I wanna be where the people are
I wanna see
Wanna see 'em dancing
Walking around on those
What do you call ′em? oh, feet!
Flipping your fins you don't get to far
Legs are required for jumping, dancing
Strolling along down the
What's that word again? Street
Oh, Up where they walk
Up where they run
Up where they stay all day in the sun
Wandering free...
Wish I could be
Part of that world
Out there among the millers and the weavers and their wives
Through the roofs and gables I can see them
Ev′ry day they shout and scold and go about their lives
Heedless of the gift it is to be them
What would I give
If I could live
Out of these waters?
What would I pay
To spend a day
Warm on the sand?
If I were in their skin
I′d treasure ev'ry instant
Out there
Strolling by the Seine
Taste a morning out there
Like ordinary men
Who freely walk about there
Just one day and then
I swear I′ll be content
With my share
I'll have spent
One day
Out there
What would I give
To live where you are
What would I pay
To be here beside you
What would I do
To see you smiling at me
I don′t know when
I don't know how
But I know something′s
Starting right now
Watch and you'll see
Someday I'll be
Part of your world
Gazing at the people down below me
All my life I watch them as I hide up here alone
Hungry for the histories they show me
All my life I memorize their faces
Knowing them as they will never know me
All my life I wonder how it feels to pass a day
Not above them
But part of them
Look at this stuff
Isn′t it neat?
Wouldn't you think my collection′s complete?
Wouldn't you think I'm the girl
