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

Chorus
How long, how long will I slide?
Separate my siiii-iiide
I don't, don't believe it's baaa-aaad

Slitting my throat, it's all I ever
