The Other Side |
| Right here, right now |
| I put the offer out |
| I don't want to chase you down |
| I know you see it |
| You run with me |
| And I can cut you free |
| Out of the drudgery and walls 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 |
| So 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'll finally take the key |
| Oh, damn! |
| Suddenly you're free to fly |
| It'll take you to the other side |
| Okay, my friend, you want to 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 got what I need and I don't want to take the ride |
| I 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 |
| Now 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 the dime |
| Fifteen |
| I'd do eight |
| Twelve |
| Maybe nine |
| Ten |
| Don't you wanna get away to a whole new part you're gonna play |
| 'Cause I got what you need, so come with me and take the ride |
| To the other side |
| So if you do like I do |
| So if you 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 if you do like I do |
| (To the other side) |
| So if you do like me |
| (We're going to the other side) |
| 'Cause if we do we're going to the other side |
| We're going to the other side |
