I've got to take it on the other side

(RIFF 1)
Centuries are what it meant to me
A cemetery where I marry the sea
Stranger things can never change my mind

(RIFF 2) X3
I've got to take it on the other side
Take it on the other side
Take it on, take it on

(CHORUS)

(RIFF 1)
Pour my life into a paper cup
The ashtray's full and I'm spilling my guts
She wanna know am I still a slut

(RIFF 2)
I've got to take it on the other side

(RIFF 1)
Scarlet starlet and she's in my bed
A candidate for my soulmate bled
Push the trigger and pull the thread

(RIFF 2) X3
I've got to take it on the other side
Take it on the other side
Take it on, take it on

I tear it down, I tear it down
But then it's born again
