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've gone 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 could never change my mind
I've got to take it on the otherside

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

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
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 otherside
I yell and tell it that
It's not a 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 believe it's bad
Slit my throat, it's all I ever
