Crying to get Out
Lyrics by Fran Landesman
Inside every fat girl
There’s a thin girl crying to get out
Sweet and sad and slinky
That nobody ever knows about
Inside every old man
There’s a young man crying to get out
Just behind the wrinkles
Is the kid who used to twist and shout
It’s the envelope that lies
Only look into their eyes
See the lonely dreamers there
Building castles in the air
Inside every hater
There’s a lover dying of the drought
Inside every killer
There’s a lover crying to get out
Trying to get out
Dying to get out
All the locked up lovers
Crying to get out
from
"Is it Over Crowded in Heaven?"
