how long how long will i slide

separate my side i don't

i don't believe it's bad

slit 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 gotta take it on the other side

centuries are what it meant to me

a cemetery where i marry the sea

stranger things could never change my mind

i gotta take it on the other side

take it on the other side

take it on take it on

how long how long will i slide

separate my side i don't

i don't believe it's bad

slit my throat it's all i ever

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

i've got to take it on the other side

a scarlet starlet and she's in my bed

a candidate for a soul mate bled

push the trigger and pull the thread

i gotta take it on the other side

take it on the other side

take it on

take it on

how long how long will i slide

separate my side i don't

i don't believe it's bad

slit my throat it's all i ever

turn me on take me for a hard ride

burn me out leave me on the other side

i yell and tell it that it's not my friend

i tear it down i tear it down

and then it's born again

how long how long will i slide

separate my side i don't

i don't believe it's bad

slit my throat it's all i ever

how long i don't i don't believe it's bad

slit my throat it's all i ever
