Creep quasimodo
Yeah, I am a likely target
Sure I'll play the part
Born with the face of an old DeSotoIf misery loves...more
Then why am I crying alone?
I'd make a better bore
If there were someone to practice it on
CHORUS
I need somebody
I'm on the outside looking in
I need somebody
I cannot face my face againGenetic drifter
Quarantined in my own dimension
Hey look! It smokes, it drinks,
It philosophizes!
It's loving this new attentionWe apologize
But the status quota's already met
And if you reapply
You'll need a written excuse from your...vet
(CHORUS)
I need somebody
I'm on the outside looking through
I need somebody
I never wanted this tatooShe gave me water
She gave me her books to carry
Then the dream was gone
I'm back in my sanctuaryNothing to confess
But I've got scars deeper than your minds
Nothing to declare
But my love for all of mankind
(CHORUS)
I need somebody
I'm on the outside looking through
I need somebody
I never paid for this tatoo
To come.
