Otherside

By Red Hot Chili Peppers (2003)
On album Californication (1999)

Californication
[Chorus]
How long, how long
Will I slide?
Well separate my side
I don't
I don't believe it's bad
Slittin' my throat
It's all I ever

[Verse 1]
I heard your voice through a photograph
I thought it up
And brought up the past
Once you know you can never go back

[Bridge]
I gotta take it on the otherside

[Verse 2]
Well centuries are what it meant to me
A cemetery where I marry the sea
The stranger things that never change my mind

[Pre-Chorus]
I gotta take it on the otherside
Take it on the otherside
Take it on
Take it on

[Chorus]
How long, how long
Will I slide?
A-separate my side
I don't
I don't believe it's bad
A-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 want to know
Am I still a slut?

[Bridge]
I gotta take it on the otherside

[Verse 4]
A scarlet starlet and she's in my bed
A candidate for my soul mate bled
Mmm-push the trigger
And I pull the thread

[Pre-Chorus]
I gotta to take it on the otherside
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
A-slittin' my throat
It's all I ever

[Instrumental Break]
2:51 - 3:06

[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
And then it's born again

[Instrumental Break]
3:20 - 3:28

[Chorus]
How long, how long
Will I slide?
Separate my side
I don't
I don't believe it's bad
A-slittin' my throat
It's all I ever had

[Outro]
(How long)
I don't
I don't believe it's sad
A-slittin' my throat
It's all I ever
