My situation never changes - or very little
My little world -- my little world--is due for a shakeup
Or a shakedown would be acceptable
And I can't understand--can't understand
Why people think I'm so respectable
I believe, I believe, I believe
Outrageous, outrageous, outrageous
Outrageous things are gonna happen to me
They're gonna happen to the other side
They're gonna happen to somebody
It's gonna happen to the kids to the people next door
And it really isn't funny
And I said my situation never changes
But I'm not too sure
I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe
That something's gonna happen real soon (something scary)
I know, I know, I know
Outrageous, outrageous, outrageous
Outrageous things are gonna happen to me
They're gonna happen to me.
Everywhere I go--outrageous
Everything I see
Everytime I talk--outrageous
I'm gettin into trouble
Open my big mouth--outrageous
Words keep fallin out
Open my big mouth--outrageous
Now I'm in trouble
I believe, I believe, I believe
My little world -- my little world--is due for a shakeup
Or a shakedown would be acceptable
And I can't understand--can't understand
Why people think I'm so respectable
I believe, I believe, I believe
Outrageous, outrageous, outrageous
Outrageous things are gonna happen to me
They're gonna happen to the other side
They're gonna happen to somebody
It's gonna happen to the kids to the people next door
And it really isn't funny
And I said my situation never changes
But I'm not too sure
I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe
That something's gonna happen real soon (something scary)
I know, I know, I know
Outrageous, outrageous, outrageous
Outrageous things are gonna happen to me
They're gonna happen to me.
Everywhere I go--outrageous
Everything I see
Everytime I talk--outrageous
I'm gettin into trouble
Open my big mouth--outrageous
Words keep fallin out
Open my big mouth--outrageous
Now I'm in trouble
I believe, I believe, I believe

At the time, a common catchphrase for things that were good being used by established artists (such as Lionel Richie) was "Outrageous!" Elfman is correctly calling this a placebo thing to make you feel better in life. Notice how he keeps repeating that his situation never changes.
