Step into the Outside

queen sophia wanders in between these castle walls
says this ain’t what I call living
my shadow chases me in and through these castle halls
and still it’s not forgiving
sure I have some jewels and some pretty clothes
but there’s no one here to see them
and if you were here I’d find you in your lovers' throes
singing about your freedom
(chorus)
step into the outside, when the rain is falling down
step into the outside, take a breath before you drown
step into the outside, if you need a little lift
rub the sleep from your bloodshot eyes
and step into the outside
sophia’s got a notebook of promises tucked away
of all the things she’s going to do and when…
but now it’s underneath her mattress
underneath her skin
sophia says if i don’t get out soon i’ll lose my mind
take me anywhere surprise me just leave my suitors and the secret service men behind
or else the crowd will recognize me and then i’ll have to smile and wave
and blow kisses to their children
so quick get me a wig and a pair of shades
and i’ll be running for my freedom
(chorus)
