Beat Happening - Other Side lyrics

Let's fly away to the other side

Let's fly away to the other side
Wipe the slate clean for the umpteenth time
Start in again on a life of crime
On the other side, other side

Let's find a place on the other side
A cozy shack full of turpentine
We'll live on bread crusts and lemon rind
To the other side, other side
On this side, the leaves are changing colors
On this side, the grass is turning brown
You make me go to the cellar
You're like a bell turned upside down

Let's build a gate to the other side
Then hesitate to carry the bride
Over a threshold shotgun-shy
To the other side, other side
Other side, other side

Your side has a favorite color
Your side is turning toolbox brown
Our side wants to call them over
And keep you from running out of bounds

Other side, other side, other side
Other side
Other side, other side, other side
Other side
This side, that side, let's count down!

Let's find a way to the other side
Hop on a sled and go for a ride
Let the trail of bread crumbs be our guide
To the other side, other side

Other side, other side, other side
Other side
