[Verse 1]
Oh, I lie here staring at the ceiling
And I wonder what's happening outside
Oh, I know you've got the same blank feeling
You don't have to tell me I'm right

[Chorus]
Beyond the outskirts, come with us
We're small town dreaming, we're birds on a wire
Beyond the outskirts, come with us
We'll jump out of the page and into the fire

[Verse 2]
Oh, well we could sit here by the chain link fence
And talk for hours about Saturday
Oh, well I know it makes no difference
To anything much anyway

[Chorus]
Beyond the outskirts, come with us
We're small town dreaming, we're birds on a wire
Beyond the outskirts, come with us
We'll jump out of the page and into the fire

[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Beyond the outskirts, come with us
We're small town dreaming, we're birds on a wire
Beyond the outskirts, come with us
We'll jump out of the page and into the fire
Beyond the outskirts, come with us
We're small town dreaming, we're birds on a wire
Beyond the outskirts, come with us
We'll jump out of the page and into the fire

[Verse 3]
Oh, I lie here staring at the ceiling
And I wonder what's happening outside
Oh, I know you've got the same blank feeling
I wonder where you are tonight
