Are your dreams all in paradise or really backed up fears
Working away on the passengers across the sea?
Have you just lost a sister
Didn't make it in time?
You don't realize that's a seed to what later you'll find
From outside there's a bitterness you see
Chained to our concept of some nationality
Figure it one way or figure it not
From outside
I hope you're happy
Alone
When you hit the shores you can breathe your relief
Having passed seven medicals, no white handkerchief
Not to mention seven weeks or seven years away from home
That limey sailor was an omen of things to come
From outside there's a bitterness you see
Chained to our concept of some nationality
Figure it one way or figure it not
From outside
I hope you're happy
Alone
It was free-flow the currents that brought you
And even though you'll cling to your colours
The men and women, the ones who had raised you
Are now all filled with scorn
From outside there's a bitterness you see
Chained to our concept of some nationality
Figure it one way or figure it not
From outside
I hope you're happy
From outside there's a bitterness you see
Chained to our concept of some nationality
Figure it one way or figure it not
From outside
I hope you're happy
One, two, three, four!
