How long how long will I slide 
Separate my side I don't 
I don't believe it's bad 
Slittin' 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've got to take it on the otherside 

Centuries are what it meant to me 
cemetery where I married the sea 
Stranger things could never change my mind 
I've got to take it on the otherside 
Take it on the otherside 
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 
Slittin' 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 wants to know am I still a [bad word] 
I've got to take it on the otherside 

scarlet starlet and she's in my bed 
candidate for a soul mate bled 
Push the trigger and pull the thread 
I've got to take it on the otherside 
Take it on the otherside 
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 
Slittin' my throat 
It's all I ever 

Turn me on, take me for a hard ride 
Burn me out leave me on the otherside 
I yell and tell it that 
It's not my friend 
I tear it down I tear it down 
But 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 
Slittin' my throat 
It's all I ever had 

How long, how long will I slide 
Separate my side, I don't 
I don't believe it's bad 
Slittin' my throat 
It's all I ever
