Otherside lyrics

(Chorus)

How long, how long will I slide

Separate my side

I don't

I don't believe it's bad

Slittin' my throat

It's all I ever...

I heard your voice through a photograph

I thought it up and brought up the past

Once you know you can never go back

I've got to take it on the otherside

Centuries are what it meant to me

A cemetery where I married the sea

Stranger things could never change my mind

I've got to take it on the otherside

Take it on the otherside

Take it on

Take it on

(Chorus)

Pour my life into a paper cup

The ashtray's full and I'm spillin' my guts

She wants to know am I still a slut

I've got to take it on the otherside

A scarlet starlet and she's in my bed

A candidate for a soul mate bled

Push the trigger and pull the thread

I've got to take it on the otherside

Take it on the otherside

Take it on

Take it on

(Chorus)

Turn me on, take me for a hard ride

Burn me out, leave me on the otherside

I yell and tell it that

It's not my friend

I tear it down, I tear it down

And then it's born again

(Chorus)

(How long, how long)

I don't

I don't believe it's bad

Slittin' my throat

It's all I ever...
