[Intro]
[Chorus]
How long, how long will I slide?
Separate my siiii-iiide
I don't, don't believe it's baaa-aaad
Slittin' my throat it's all I ever
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Centuries are what it meant to me
A cemetery where I marry the sea
Stranger things never change my mind
I've got to take it on the otherside
Take it on the otherside
G*
Take it on
A*
Take it on
[Chorus]
How long, how long will I slide?
Separate my siiii-iiide
I don't, don't believe it's baaa-aaad
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 wants to know am I still a slut
I've got to take it on the otherside
[Verse 4]
Scarlet starlet and she's in my bed
A 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
G*
Take it on
A*
Take it on
[Chorus]
How long, how long will I slide?
Separate my siiii-iiide
I don't, don't believe it's baaa-aaad
Slittin' my throat it's all I ever
[Instrumental]
Em* - C*
Em* - C*
[Bridge]
Em*
Turn me on take me for a hard ride
C*
Burn me out leave me on the otherside
Em*
I yell and tell it that it's not my friend
C*
I tear it down I tear it down, and then it's born again
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
How long, how long will I slide?
Separate my siiii-iiide
I don't, don't believe it's baaa-aaad
Slittin' my throat it's all I ever
Haaa-aaad, I don't, don't believe it's saaa-aaad
Slitting my throat, it's all I ever
