Outside the Palace Songtext
von Violent Femmes

I′ve been outside the palace
I've been outside the gate
I still don′t feel that I made any mistake
When I got off that train
I felt my feet hit the ground
I didn't wanna go where that gravy train was bound

God, help me to see
I've been loved all along
And not to get too confused
Between the moonlight and the dawn


If I go back to the palace
I′ll walk right through the gate
Nobody knows how much here was at stake
I might get on that train
Feel the wheel on the track
Move it on up the mountain like a foregone fact

God, help me to know
I′ve been in love my whole life
And not to get so confused
Between the struggle and the strife (hit it)

God, help me to see
I've been loved all along
And not to get too confused
Between the moonlight and the dawn
Between the moonlight and the dawn
Between the moonlight and the dawn
