Lyrics
The Other Side
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Wheels are grinding at the rumour mill
Turning churning into overkill
To manufacture all the truth you will believe in
I'd be happy just to drift along
Cast my shadow by the fiery sun
But the sky's been drowned by the clouds on my horizon
Here they come again with all those lies
Squeezing them between the cracks and fissures of my mind
And it's time to go baby, take a ride
To the furthest shore, to the other side
Sat here watching how the water flows
She's quite happy with the way she goes
And I'll feel much better when I learn some of her secrets
See the people how they run around
Building towers on the shifting sand
And I wish they wouldn't cos they make me feel distracted
Here they come again with all those lies
Squeezing them between the cracks and fissures of my mind
And it's time to go baby, take a ride
To the furthest shore, to the other side
And it's time to go baby, take a ride
To the furthest shore, to the other side
And it's time to go baby, take a ride
To the furthest shore, to the other side
To the other side
To the other side
