Lyrics

(Anderson/squire)

I see the cold mist in the night
And watch the hills roll out of sight
I watch in ev'ry single way
Inside out, outside in, ev'ry day

The sun can warm the coldest dawn
And move the movement on the lawn
I learn in ev'ry single day
Inside out, outside in, ev'ry way

And there you are
Making it up but you're sure that it is a star
And boy you'll see
It's an illusion shining down in front of me
And then you'll say
Even in time we shall control the day
When what you'll see
Deep inside the day's controlling you and me

And one peculiar point I see
As one of many ones of me
As truth is gathered, I rearrange
Inside out, outside in, inside out, outside in
Perpetual change

And there you are
Saying we have the moon, so now the stars
When all you see
Is near disaster gazing down on you and me
And there you're standing
Saying we have the whole world in our hands
When all you'll see
Deep inside the world's controlling you and me

You'll see perpetual change
You'll see perpetual change

And there you are
Making it up but you're sure that it is a star
And boy you'll see
It's an illusion shining down in front of me
And then you'll say
Even in time we shall control the day
When what you'll see
Deep inside the day's controlling you and me

As mist and sun are both the same
We look on as pawns of their game
They move to testify the day
Inside out, outside in, inside out, outside in
All of the way
Ah, ah
