Lyric The Other Side

i walk into the room
you don t have to scream i can hear you
bad trip, the needle sticks
you get your kicks from confrontation
i try to make it past
i don t wanna get into it right now
can t this family have one day
to get away from all the pain

and through the night i see the light
shining from the neighbor s windows
i dream of life where i m safe
in a home where i am not alone
some day i will lay me down
on the grass where everything is greener
it always seems so good on the other side

i m sick of all the heat
you can taste the hate in the air
running through this family, uncomfortably
it s burning me
is anybody there
in your eyes there s nothing to see
just because your dreams have died
don t drag me down, i ve still got mine

[chorus]

neighbor boy runs up to me, his eyes all black and blue
i say what happened to you boy, he said my daddy flew
off the hook cos i was playin too loud
i guess he couldn t hear the tv
he said son i m a teach you a lesson
and then he .... and then he....

maybe it s not so good on the other side
maybe it s not so good on the other side
but it always seems so good, on the other side
it always looks so good .... it always seems so good
