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 know you can never go back

I gotta take it on the other side

Well, centuries are what it meant to me

A cemetery where I marry the sea

A stranger thing could never change my mind

I gotta take it on the other side

Take it on the other side

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 wanna know am I still a slut?

I’ve got to take it on the other side

A scarlet starlet and she’s in my bed

A candidate for the soulmate bled

Push the trigger and pull the thread

I gotta take it on the other side

Take it on the other side

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 other side

I yell and tell it that it’s not my 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 had

(How long) I don’t

I don’t believe it’s sad

Slit my throat, it’s all I ever
