The Other Side of Town - Michael Malarkey

Yeah you got a light

She’s smoking again

And our whole past is here

Don’t open the door

It’s well and known

Like an ocean of sick

But I still pay the rent

And still the question hangs around

What’s on the other side of town

Are there phonelines there

So I can call you in the morning

If I change my mind

The chances are

I’m not going anywhere

The grass is never green if you’re colorblind

And still the question hangs around

What’s on the other side of town

Out in the backyard I see skeletons

Reminded me of a broken state of man

Would it be the same there

Would it change a thing

Would you love me again

Would we dance again

Would we touch again

Or just go back to sleep like friends

And still the question hangs around

What’s on the other side of town

I see the darkness and I see the light

But out of control like a firefly

And still the question hangs around

What’s on the other side of town
