There's a blue eyed girl with a red bow tie And a string of pearls with one good eye In a rainy town the chimney smoke will curl No one likes clowns on the other side of the world And the children know she'll never let me go. There's a one legged priest that tangos with the farmers wife Beauty and the beast is taking her own life And a tear on a letter back home turns into a lake of your own And a crow turns into a girl on the other side of the world And she tastes like the sea and she's waiting for me In the spring the weeds will show that he brought back the only rose And he gave it to his girl on the other side of the world. And I drink champagne from your thin blue veins She visits his grave wearing her mother's shawl Should I shave or end it all. There's an old sailor song that the children know As their fingers curl around the other side of the world On a bone white mare lost in kathleen's hair In the spring the weeds will show that he brought back the only rose And he gave it to his girl on the other side of the world.

The girl Alone in her head The tears After what he said The fear Alone in the dark The pain She carries in her heart When all you've ever wanted is the freedom that you lack If you find a way to get up Keep on running and don't look back The other side of love The other side of love The other side of love The other side of love The boy So much to give The lies He's forced to live The son The father and his ghost The faith Hurts him the most When all you ever wanted it is the freedom that you lack If you find a way to get up Keep on running and don't look back The other side of love The other side of love The other side of love The other side of love Somewhere Hiding in the shadows There's something Everybody knows When all you ever wanted it is the freedom that you lack If you find a way to get up Keep on running and don't look back The other side of love The other side of love The other side of love The other side of love We are angels We are demons We are children all the same We are angels We are demons We are children all the same When all you ever wanted it is the freedom that you lack If you find a way to get up Keep on running and don't look back The other side of love The other side of love The other side of love The other side of love We are angels We are demons We are children all the same We are angels We are demons We are children all the same We are angels We are demons We are children all the same We are angels We are demons We are children all the same

Getting so sick of your silly lies, I may have been dumb, but I'm getting wise You really head me running babe There was a time you'd looked at me and hypnotise Feel hung up and you bring me down Gets to deep and I start to frown You know what, you're not so hot 'Cause baby I've been trough it And you only do the things you do To prove that you can do it Oh, set me free, I got to see The other side of the road Oh, let me go, I got to know The other side of the road The other side of the road Burning up and I don't know why Got to cut loose and I got to try I can't stay with you forever Got a lot of things to do before I die Getting so tired of the state I'm in Need a new life, let it all beginn I've had all I can take of you I'm sick of your deceiving And it doesn't matter what you do 'Cause baby I'm still leaving Oh, set me free, I got to see The other side of the road Oh, let me go, I got to know The other side of the road The other side of the road
