How long, how long will I slide?
Separate my siiii-iiide
I don't, don't believe it's baaa-aaad
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 marry the sea
Stranger things never change my mind
I've got to take it on the otherside
Take it on the otherside
Take it on
Take it on
How long, how long will I slide?
Separate my siiii-iiide
I don't, don't believe it's baaa-aaad
Slittin' my throat it's all I ever
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
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
How long, how long will I slide?
Separate my siiii-iiide
I don't, don't believe it's baaa-aaad
Slittin' my throat it's all I ever
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
How long, how long will I slide?
Separate my siiii-iiide
I don't, don't believe it's baaa-aaad
Slittin' my throat it's all I ever
Haaa-aaad, I don't, don't believe it's saaa-aaad
Slitting my throat, it's all I ever
