Other Side of Town
Why do you always seem to criticize meSeems like everything I do just turns out wrongWhy don't you come on out and despise meSo I could pack my bag and baby I'd be goneRemember when you used to call me honeyI'd turn around and call you honey tooYou might think it's a joke, but it ain't funnyTo hurt someone who's so in love with youA clown puts his makeup on upside downSo he wears a smile even when he wears a frownYou might think I'm here when you put me downBut actually I'm on the other side of town.My body's in this room with you just catching hellWhile my soul is drinking beer down the road a spellYou might think I'm listening to your grocery listBut I'm leaning on the jukebox and I'm about half, way thereA clown puts his makeup on upside downSo he wears a smile even when he wears a frownYou might think I'm here when you put me downBut actually I'm on the other side of town.I'm sittin' on a chair just behind my earSongtextePlaying dominoes and drinking some ice cold beerWhen you get done talking I'll come back downstairsAnd assume the body of the person you presume who caresI'm across the river on the other side of townIn my mind I'm on the other side of town Aus Songtexte Mania
