Lyrics Locked Out - Crowded House

Locked Out

I’ve been locked out
I’ve been locked in But I always seem to come back again
When you’re in that room
What do you do?
I know that I will have you in the end
And the clouds
They’re crying on you
And the birds are offering up their tunes
In a shack as remote as a mansion
You escape into a place where nothing moves
And I’ve been locked out
And I know we’re through
But I can’t begin to face up to the truth
I wait so long
For the walls to crack
But I know that I will one day have you back
And the hills
Are as soft as a pillow
And they cast a shadow on my bed
And the view
When I look through my window
Is an altar place I’m praying to for the living and the dead
My hidden valley shines in the morning sun
I send a message out to my only one
Yet I’ve been locked out
And I know we’re through
But I can’t begin to face up to the truth
I wait so long
For the walls to crack
But I know that I will one day have you back
(Yes, I will)
And I work
Like bees in the honey
Every night I circle like the moon
It’s an act
Of simple devotion
But it can take forever when you’ve got something to prove
I’ve been locked out
I’ve been locked out
I’ve been locked out
