Insider (Live At The Forum/1981)

You got a dangerous background

And everything you dreamed of

Yeah, you're the dark angel

It don't show when you break up

I'm the one who ought to know

I'm the one you left to rust

I'm the broken-hearted fool

Who was never quite enough

I'm an insider

I've been burned by the fire

I've had to live with some hard promises

And I crawled through the briars

I'm an insider

It's a circle of deception

It's a hall of strangers

Yeah, it's a cage without a key

You can feel the danger

I'm the one who ought to know

I'm the one you couldn't trust

I'm the lonely silent one

I'm the one left in the dust

I'm an insider

I've been burned by the fire

I've had to live with some hard promises

And I crawled through the briars

I'm an insider

I bet you're his masterpiece

I bet you're his self-control

You'll become his legacy

His quiet world of white and gold

I'm the one who ought to know

I'm the one you left to rust

I'm one of your twisted friends

I'm the one you couldn't love

I'm an insider

I've been burned by the fire

I've had to live with some hard promises

And I crawled through the briars

I'm an insider
