Out There Songtext
von Lorraine Feather

You shook my hand rather leery
And I imagined that you found me cold
I knew your taste for the eerie
You knew of course that everyone had told me you were out there

I thought your pain had you blinded
Spurning the obvious in asking why
You said I had to be reminded
Of what the "I" stood for in the FBI
And venture out there

Shoulder to shoulder improbably together
The oddest couple in the Fed′s employ
The world we traveled grew darker by the day
A grave informant and a dog-faced boy
Were waiting out there

Time can't just disappear
It′s a universal invariant


Crime doesn't sleep
You came to wake me in room 203
We quickly threw on our wet weather gear
The pattern less than evident to you and me

Once I compared you to Ahab
Your vengeance coloring all you chose to do
Megalomaniacal in your twisted view
And then you asked if I
Then you asked if I
Asked me if I was coming on to you

Your hair was rumpled and spiky
Your hazel eyes curiously probing mine
You'd wormed your way into my psyche
It took me aback but the temptation was divine
To linger out there


Mystery to mystery
What if you should love me?
What of my sanity and common sense?
Weird lights above me
A rabbit hole below
I thought I understood the final consequence
Of being drawn down into space
Knew it meant vanishing without a trace
Forever out there
