The Other Side by Morphine...
Going down to the river There's a man I wanna see
Yea he's the ferryman He'll recognize me
I'm going down now to the riverside There's a place I wanna be
I'm going to talk to the ferryman He'll be expecting me
I'm crossing over now to the other side Life is better there on the other side
The grass is greener there on the other side And I'll get even there on the other side
And everything will turn out all right On the other side
I'm crossing over now to the other side The other side
I walked by the church house late last night Yeah I walked by the church house
but I didn't go inside Cause I once slept with the preacher's wife She handed me a
ticket to the other side I'm crossing over now to the other side To the other side
