Lyrics (unofficial)

Hot shot Maddie and the Gasoline Gang
GT stripes and the half the bang [0:38]
Well he turned back the miles but he went insane
Everything old is new again
And everything new is broken in two
And everything old is broke and cold
And everything else is anything else
Something else you can keep to yourself

I'm inside
I'm inside
I'm inside

I wish I could be happy with such simple things
I wish I understood the song the traffic sings
I wish for a moment I that could hide
Wait a minute, I'm inside

I'm inside
I'm inside
I'm inside

Whoo-hoo! Come on! Where's that ukulele?

I fixed myself a drink and I drank myself a fix
I thought I must be mad to hang with these dicks
I turned back the tide but I was swept out to sea
I wept like a willow on the window silly
I tramp 'round town, around and around
Overtime in the underground
I was under construction, I was under constraint
Hold me baby 'cause I'm gonna faint

I'm inside
I'm inside
I'm inside

I wish I could be happy with the simple thing
I wish I understood the song the traffic sings
I wish for a moment I that could hide
Wait a minute, I'm inside

I'm inside
I'm inside
I'm inside
I'm inside

I'm inside
I'm inside
I'm inside

(Alright?)
(Ok)
