the other side of town

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
