[Chorus]
How long, how long will I slide?
Well, separate my side, oh-ho, I don't
I don't believe it's bad
Oh, slittin' my throat, it's all I ever
[Verse 1]
Heard your voice through a photograph
I thought it up it and 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
And stranger things never change my mind
I've 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
Well, 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 wanna know am I still a slut?
I gotta take it on the otherside
[Verse 4]
Scarlet starlet and she's in my bed
Un candidate for the soul mate bled
Well, push the trigger and pull the thread
I gotta take it on the otherside
[Pre-Chorus]
Take it on the otherside
Take it on, yeah, take it on
[Chorus]
How long, how long will I slide?
Separate my side, no, no, I don't
I don't believe it's bad
Well, slit my throat, it's all I ever
[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, then it's born again
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
How long, how long will I slide?
Separate my side, no, no, I don't
I don't believe it's bad
Well, slittin' my throat, it's all I ever had
[Outro]
She said (I don't)
Don't believe it's bad
Well, slit my throat, it's all I ever
[Spoken: Flea]
Why, why can't a plate break a hammer?
Because it has— it's head is too hard
