the wrong side now

could you have a clue just what you're doing to me?

you know me far too well

it's a sting

and life is a carnival but we're the next unmentioned

you picked a fine

fine way to say goodbye

as if that's the only trick to the prize

i'm on the wrong side now

i'm on the wrong side now

i'm on the wrong side now

and i could never learn

you wanna play

you get burned

you taught me the stiff defences

but you kept the secrets

and you with the patience of a clock

now i'm wound up so tight

and sleep's cold comfort

the days so long

but bittersweet

the time on my hands slips

trips up my feet

oh

i'm on the wrong side now

i'm on the wrong side now

i'm on the wrong side now

and i could never learn

i'm on the wrong side now

i'm on the wrong side now

i'm on the wrong side now

and i could never learn

you wanna play

you get burnt

i'm on the wrong side now

i'm on the wrong side now

i'm on the wrong side now

yeah

and i could never learn

i'm on the wrong side now

i'm on the wrong side now

i'm on the wrong side now

and i could never learn

and i could never learn

you wanna play

you get burned
