"I Need Somebody" Lyrics

Creep Quasimodo
Yeah, I am a likely target
Sure I'll play the part
Born with the face of an old De Soto

If misery loves more,
Then why am I crying alone?
I'd make a better bore
If there were someone to practice it on

I need somebody
(I need someone)
I'm on the outside looking in
I need somebody
(I need someone)
I cannot face my face again

Genetic drifter
Quarantined in my own dimension
(Hey look!
It smokes,
it drinks,
It philosophizes!)
It's loving this new attention

We apologize
But the status quota's already met
And if you reapply
You'll need a written excuse from your...
Vet

I need somebody
(I need someone)
I'm on the outside looking in
I need somebody
(I need someone)
I cannot face my face again

I need somebody
I'm on the outside looking through
I need somebody
(I need someone)
I never wanted this tattoo

She gave me water
She gave me her books to carry
Then the dream was gone
I'm back in my sanctuary

Nothing to confess
But I've got scars deeper than your minds
Nothing to declare
But my love for all of mankind

I need somebody
(I need someone)
I'm on the outside looking in
I need somebody
(I need someone)
I cannot face my face again

I need somebody
I'm on the outside looking through
I need somebody
(I need someone)
I never paid for this tattoo
