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 treachery 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

so if you do like me

'cause if we do we're going to the other side

we're going to #theotherside
