The Other Side


I’m tired
Of everyone
I know
Of everyone
I see
On the street
And on TV

On the other side
On the other side
Nobody’s waiting for me
On the other side

I hate them all
I hate them all
I hate myself
For hating them
So drink some more
I love them all
I’ll drink even more
I’ll hate them even more
Than I did before

On the other side
On the other side
Nobody’s waiting for me on the other side

I remember when you came
You told me all the same
Now it seems so far away
You told me all the same

I’m tired
Of being
So judgemental
Of everyone

And when I go to sleep
I will train my head to see
In my mind is there

On the other side
On the other side
I know what’s waiting for me
On the other side
On the other side
I know what’s waiting for me
On the other side...

15 Minutes

I was all just a dream, Oh no
I wish it was real
All my pets they were there and they smiled
Take a shit - it was fine

Everybody so inviting

They got it in for me I know
It's not that I don't really love you
It's just that I don't really know
The hateful things you think you want to say
Time will turn them into jokes

Yes, it was all just a dream, oh, no
Was it real? I don't know
I hope so

Here we go! Can I play? Can I Watch?
He would like one more night in your life
I saw worlds they don't stop, they're like us.
They go fast like a sun that's been shot.

Everybody at the party
Should't worry if I'm there
Everybody at the party
Should't worry what they wear
Cause today they talk about us
And tomorrow they won't care

This whole life is it a dream? I can't tell
I got up, then I waved, then I fell
I recall, you were there with me
Overjoyed and at peace

First time around
Second took so long
Third time's the charm
Circle of the fourths
Five days to rehearse
Six to make it work
Seven notes in a scale
Eight in some countries
Nine in fancy keys
Ten years we've been friends
Eleven seconds to hell
And of course, twelve major chords....

The Modern Age

Up on a hill, here's where we begin
This little story, long time ago
Stop to pretend, stop pretending
It seems this game is simply never ending

Ah in the sun, sun having fun it's in my blood
I just can't help it, don't want you here right now
Let me go
Let me go go go go go go go go

Leaving just in time, stayed there for a while
Rolling in the ocean, trying to catch her eye
Work hard and say it's easy, do it just to please me
Tomorrow will be different, so I'll pretend I'm leaving

I feel so different now, we tried to deviate
We should learn to stay
My vision's clearer now but I'm not afraid
Flying overseas, no time to feel the breeze
I took too many varieties

Ah in the sun, sun having fun it's in my blood
I just can't help it, don't want you here right now
Let me go
Let me go go go go go go go go

Leaving just in time, stayed there for a while
Rolling in the ocean, trying to catch her eye
Work hard and say it's easy, do it just to please me
Tomorrow will be different, so I'll pretend I'm leaving...

Alone Together

No choice now, its too late
Let him go, he gave up
Dont give up
Lisa said take time for me
Dropping him down to his knees
Oh just go

Take me away, see Ive got to explain
Things they are changing such a permanent way
Life seems unreal, can we go back to your place
Ah you drink too much, makes me drink just the same

People try, felt so right
Giving themselves good advice
Looking down sometimes felt nice

He knows its just a fact to kill to survive
Hes earning dollars when youre giving your life
Let someone poor soul work 3 hours a day
The world is over and I dont care coz

I am with you, now Ive got to explain
Things they are changing such a permanent way
Life seems unreal, can we go back to your place
You drink too much, makes me drink just the same

On the first time that I met your friends
A second time I thought it would last
We all like it a little different...
