[Chorus] How long, how long will I slide? Well, separate my side I don't, I don't believe it's bad Slittin' my throat, it's all I ever [Verse 1] I heard your voice through a photograph I thought it up it brought up the past Once you know you can never go back I gotta take it on the otherside [Verse 2] Well, centuries are what it meant to me A cemetery where I marry the sea A stranger thing could never change my mind I gotta take it on the otherside [Pre-Chorus] Take it on the otherside Take it on, take it on [Chorus] How long, how long will I slide? A-separate my side I don't, I don't believe it's bad A-slittin' my throat, it's all I ever [Verse 3] Pour my life into a paper cup The ashtray's full and I'm spillin' my guts She want to know am I still a slut? I gotta take it on the otherside [Verse 4] A scarlet starlet and she's in my bed A candidate for the soul mate bled Mmm, push the trigger and I pull the thread I gotta take it on the otherside [Pre-Chorus] Take it on the otherside Take it on, take it on [Chorus] How long, how long will I slide? Separate my side I don't, I don't believe it's bad A-slittin' my throat, it's all I ever [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] 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, and then it's born again [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] How long, how long will I slide? Separate my side I don't, I don't believe it's bad A-slittin' my throat, it's all I ever had [Outro] (How long?) I don't, I don't believe it’s sad A-slittin' my throat, is all I ever
