How long, how long will I slide?  
Separate my side  
I don't, don't believe it's bad  
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

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

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

Burn me out leave me on the otherside
