Lyrics of
The Other Side

Right here, right now
I'll put the offer out
I don't wanna chase you down
But I know you see it
You run with me
And I can cut you free
Out of the treachery of
All you keep in
So trade that typical
For something colorful
And if it's crazy live a little crazy
You can play it sensible
A king of conventional
Or you can risk it all and see
Don't you wanna get away
From the same old part you gotta play
'Cause I got what you need to come with me and take the ride
It'll take you to the other side
'Cause you can do like you do
Or you can do like me
Stay in the cage or you finally take the key
Oh! Damn! suddenly you're free to fly
It'll take you to the other side
Okay, my friend
You wanna cut me in
Well I hate to tell you,
But it just won't happen
So thanks, but no
I think I'm good to go
'Cause I quite enjoy the life
You say I'm trapped in
Now I admire you
And that whole show you do
You're onto something
Really, it's something
But I live among the swells
And we don't pick up peanut shells
I'll have to leave that up to you
Don't you know that I'm okay
With this uptown part I get to play
'Cause I've got what I need and I don't wanna take the ride
Don't need to see the other side
So go and do like you do
I'm good to do like me
Ain't in a cage so I don't need to take the key
Oh! Damn! Can't you see I'm doing fine?
I don't need to see the other side
Is this really how you like to spend your days?
Whiskey and misery and parties and plays
If I were mixed up with you
I'd be the talk of the town
Disgraced and disowned
Another one of the clowns
But you would finally live a little
Finally laugh a little
Just let me give you the freedom to dream
And it'll wake you up, and cure your aching
Take your walls and start 'em breaking
Now that's a deal that seems worth taking
But I guess I'll leave that up to you
Well it's intriguing, but to go would cost me greatly
So what percentage of the show would I be taking?
Fair enough, you'd want a piece of all the action
I'd give you seven, we could shake and make it happen.
I wasn't born this morning
Eighteen would be just fine
Why not just go ahead and ask for nickels on a dime?
Fifteen

Twelve
N.C.
Ten
Don't you wanna get away
To a whole new part you're gonna play
'Cause I got what you need to come with me and take the ride
To the other side
So we can do like I do
So we can do like me
Forget the cage 'cause we know how to make the key
Oh! Damn! Suddenly we're free to fly
We're going to the other side
So we can do like I do!
N.C.
So we can do like me
N.C.
'Cause if you do you're going
To the other side
E N.C.
