You found a coffee shop you think you're gonna like a lot
On the other side of town
Nobody knows you there
Doesn't matter what…
…you wear on the other side of town
Anybody thinks to look they won't find you in the book
Cause you're on the other side of town…
Life suits you just fine
Outta sight you're out of mind
You're on the other side of town
You can come out now the coast is clear
Old…

…it right.
and all these people here
they're trying to be happy
and all these dreams are put to rest
things seem so much better
on the other side of town…
…the wishing wells get deeper and reality breaks down
on the other side of town
we'll all be better off out there on the other…
…to be happy
and all these dreams are put to rest
things seem so much better
on the other side of town
the wishing wells get deeper and reality breaks…

Song: The Other Side of Town
Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen. Sorry to bother you…
…you do?
I'm from the other side of town
The place where the only skin you see is the color brown
The sun never shines…
…to share or to care
But to hope - and hope
Instead of feeling down
And that's how it is
On the other side of town
I live on the other side of town
Pardon me…

…will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time...and have a nice day
How do you do?
I'm from the other side of town
The place where…
…side of town
I live on the other side of town
Pardon me, brotha
As you stand in your glory
I hope you don't mind…
…with a frown
Damn, I woke up
But on the other side of town
The other side of town
My teacher's a fat man
Yo, how can they tempt me so
f*ck…

Thank you for your time...
and have a nice day.
How do you do?
I'm from the other side of town
The place where the only skin you…
…side of town
I live on the other side of town
Pardon me, brotha
As you stand in your glory
I hope you don't mind as I tell…
…side of town
The other side of town
My teacher's a fat man
Yo, how can they tempt me so
Fuck geometry, my…

Pardon me, brotha

f*ck…

I'm from the other side of town
Out of bounds
To anybody who don't live around
I never learned to share
Or how to care
I never…
…had no teachings
About being fair
Depression is part of my mind
The sun never shines
On the other side of town
The need here…
…is always for more
There's nothing good in store
On the other side of town
It's hard to do right
In this filthy night
Just plain simple…

…nobody put me down
That's why I'm going to
The other side of town
Chorus:
On the other side of town
Where the sun don't ever shine…
They just hang their heads and cry
On the other side of town
Well it isn't very far
And it's not that hard to find
You just follow all…
…that midnight train rolls by
And they hear that lonesome sound
They just hang their heads and cry
On the other side of town
So…

Your body's here with me
But your mind is on the other side of town
You're messin' me around
Girl, your body's here…
…with me, (Mmmm, hmmm, mmmm)
But your mind is on the other side of town
You're messin' me around
I thought you told me you straightened out…
…oooh)
But your mind is on the other side of town. (Yeah, uh, uh, uh)
You're messin' me around. Foolin' around
You never deny me…

…wears a smile even when he wears a frown
You might think I'm here when you put me down
But actually I'm on the other side of town…
So he wears a smile even when he wears a frown
You might think I'm here when you put me down
But actually I'm on the other side of town…
…come back downstairs
And assume the body of the person you presume who cares
I'm across the river on the other side of town
In my mind I'm on the other side of town…

And nothing stays the same
When the sky falls down
Does it make a sound
On the other side of town
So we live with less
Love and happiness
On the other…
…side of town
I cry to sleep
Wondering who
Cradles you softly and true
Day for day
With the stars falling at our feet
All…
…the sky falls down
Does it make a sound
On the other side of town
So we live with less
Love and happiness
On the other side of town…

…wears a smile even when he wears a frown
You might think I'm here when you put me down
But actually I'm on the other side of town
My…
…wears a smile even when he wears a frown
You might think I'm here when you put me down
But actually I'm on the other side of town…
…downstairs
And assume the body of the person you presume who cares
I'm across the river on the other side of town
In my mind I'm on the other side of town…

…everyone's last prayer and walk on
Through the blood we found
[Chorus]
Meet me on the other side of town
[Verse 2]
[?] in the dead light…
…a trail of youth and glory
To the light we're bound
[Chorus]
Meet you on the other side of town
[Verse 3]
There are parts of the deathly whispers
That I cannot…
…in the ground
[Chorus]
Meet me on the other side of town
[Verse 4]
I could see their faces, eyes closed
Kids in their arms
I could feel…

…wears a smile even when he wears a frown
You might think I'm here when you put me down
But actually I'm on the other side of town…
So he wears a smile even when he wears a frown
You might think I'm here when you put me down
But actually I'm on the other side of town…
…come back downstairs
And assume the body of the person you presume who cares
I'm across the river on the other side of town…

Well, I got a little mama
On the other side of town
All the cats in the neighbourhood
Try to put my baby down
Well, she may…
The craziest that I found
How I love that little girl
From the other side of town
Well, she won't think of me as a loser
Gonna find…
…to spread around
And that makes us the craziest family
From the other side of town…
