The other side

I was looking for an easy way out From this darkness inside of me For somebody who knew what it was about Someone who could clearly see My grandfather n' my grandmother Someone who's been here before Walked on by through the heart of darkness Come and hear me open up this door

CHORUS:

Wanna take that ride to the other side I wanna take that ride to the other side Give your advice from the other side I wanna take that ride to the other side

I've been roaming the allies and backstreets Looking for my family But to my hunger and shame and degradation The past went away from me Like my father before me had written The little that he left behind Men lie, men may die Goodbye, John, that love is blind

CHORUS

Mama how can I ever forgive ya for leaving me here all alone The only thing I can do is outlive ya Past the grave that you call home Through the eyes of my own children They view the world as what they see 'til my bones are dust on the windows --- block blowing constantly

CHORUS
