Song | The Other Side, Part I |
Artist | Gil Scott-Heron |
Album | Spirits |
Sometimes | |
I feel like | |
I'm just wasting time | |
Looking for another side | |
Sometime I feel like | |
I'm losing my mind ‘cause there ain't | |
No other side | |
Sometimes | |
I'm just spinning my wheels, ain't no big deal | |
Morning, there's another side | |
Sometimes | |
I feel like | |
I'm just standing in place, ain't no real race | |
Ain't no other side | |
Life is like a circle and you end up where you started | |
If you end up where you started ain't no other side | |
Yeah, but if life is like a curtain that | |
I'm 90% certain that | |
I'm looking through at something | |
Yes, I'm almost touching something on the other side | |
Yeah, the opposite of new is old | |
The opposite of young is old | |
Seems like everything has got another side | |
Yeah, but young ones want to be old ones | |
Old ones know what they would do if they was young ones | |
People ain't never really satisfied | |
People ain't never satisfied | |
If life is like a mirror then the nearer you get clearer | |
You can see it so much clearer | |
Feel like you know about the other side | |
My friends all swear that they know | |
What I should do with my life | |
How I should run my life | |
What should be happening with my life | |
They're on the other side | |
They're on the outside | |
I'm on the inside | |
Things always look so much better on the other side | |
Four O'clock in the morning | |
They don't know | |
All the things | |
I been needing | |
They don't know | |
Breaking out in a sweat | |
And they don't know | |
Feeling down | |
And they don't know | |
They don't know the other side | |
I need to go home | |
Momma could change it | |
Daddy could help me | |
Yes, I could go home | |
Yeah, Momma don't need to see me this way | |
Know me this way | |
Touch me this way | |
Love me this way | |
Find me this way | |
I can't go home | |
I'm saying | |
I don't want to call him | |
I don't want to know him | |
I don't want to need him | |
I don't want to feel it | |
I don't want to know | |
But I know, know know | |
Hey, home | |
So I say tomorrow | |
Tomorrow [repeat] | |
I'm going home | |
Tomorrow ain't coming | |
Tomorrow will always where it was | |
Tomorrow [repeat] | |
I need to go home | |
Maybe I could start all over at home | |
Without the whispers | |
Hanging on me | |
Pulling on me, rolling with me | |
Pulling on me | |
Yes, I'd like to go home | |
Without the whispers |
Sometimes | |
I feel like | |
I' m just wasting time | |
Looking for another side | |
Sometime I feel like | |
I' m losing my mind cause there ain' t | |
No other side | |
Sometimes | |
I' m just spinning my wheels, ain' t no big deal | |
Morning, there' s another side | |
Sometimes | |
I feel like | |
I' m just standing in place, ain' t no real race | |
Ain' t no other side | |
Life is like a circle and you end up where you started | |
