It looked so good   From the outside   I couldn't want to join the crowd   It all looked different on the inside   It must have been my immigration   Cause that's for sure that where I wanted to      I thought I'd get out of the city   I took a trip down to the sea   I didn't stay too long   Because there was nothing there but sky and ocean   So it must have been my imagination   Calling out that there was where I wanted to be      Looking for something that might offer meaning   Looking for something that might make me feel alright   Alright yer!   Looking around for the right situation   Where I could believe what's happening   right in front of my eyes baby      I think I'll stay in one position   And just leave well enough alone   I'm never satisfied to love in disillusion   Oh yer it must be my imagination   Promising there's a better place to be      Looking for something that might offer meaning   Looking for something that might make me feel alright   Alright yer!   Looking around for the right situation   Where I could believe what's happening   right in front of my eyes baby            Written by: Gerry Rafferty
