Beat Happening

Other Side

Beat Happening


Let's fly away
To the other side

Let's fly away to the other side
Wipe the slate clean for the umpteenth time
Starting again on a life of crime
On the other side other side
Let's find a place on the other side
A cozy shack full of turpentine
We'll live on bread crust and lemon rind
To the other side other side

On this side there needs a change in color
On this side the grass is turning brown
You make me go to house cellar
You're like a bell turned upside

Let's build a gate to the other side
Then hesitate to carry the bride
Over a threshold shotgun shy
To the other side other side
Other side other side

Your side has a favorite color
Your side is turning toolbox brown
My side wants to call them over
And keep you from running out of bounds
Other side other side
Other side other side
Other side other side
Other side other side
This side that side let's count down

Let's find a way to the other side
Hop on a sled and go for a ride
Let the trail of bread crumbs be our guide
To the other side other side
Other side other side
Other side other side
Other side other side
