Right here, right now
|
I put the offer out
|
I don't want to chase you down
|
I know you see it
|
You run with me
|
And I can cut you free
|
Out of the drudgery and walls you keep in
|
So trade your typical for something colourful
|
And if it's crazy live a little crazy
|
You can play it sensible
|
A king of conventional
|
Or you can risk it all and see
|
Don't you want to get away
|
From the same old part you got to play
|
Cause I got what you need so come with me and take a ride
|
It'll take you to the other side
|
Cause you can do like you do
|
Or you can do like me
|
Stay in your cage or you'll finally take the key
|
Oh damn, suddenly you're free to fly
|
It'll take you to the other side
|
Okay my friend you want to cut me in
|
Well I hate to tell you but it just won't happen
|
So thanks but no
|
I think I'm good to go
|
Cause I quite enjoy the life you say I'm trapped in
|
Now I admire you
|
And that whole show you do
|
You're onto something really it's something
|
But I live among the swells
|
And we don't pick up peanut shells
|
I'll have to leave that up to you
|
Don't you know that I'm okay
|
With this uptown part I get to play
|
Cause I got what I need and I don't want to take a ride
|
I don't need to see the other side
|
So go and do like you do
|
I'm good to do like me
|
Ain't in a cage so I don't need to take the the key
|
Oh damn can't you see I'm doing fine
|
I don't need to see the other side
|
But is this really how you like to spend your days
|
Whiskey and misery and parties and plays
|
If I were mixed up with you I'd be the talk of the town
|
Disgraced and disowned another one of the clowns
|
But you would finally live a little
|
Finally laugh a little
|
Just let me give you the freedom to dream a little
|
Wake you up and cure your aching
|
Take your walls and start them breaking
|
Now that's a deal that seems worth taking
|
But I guess I'll leave that up to you
|
Well it's intriguing but to go would cost me greatly
|
So what percentage of the show would I be taking
|
Well fair enough you'd want a piece of all the action
|
I'd give you seven we could shake and make it happen
|
I wasn't born this morning eighteen would be just fine
|
Why not just go ahead and ask for nickels on a dime
|
Fifteen? I'd do eight. Twelve? Maybe nine? Ten.
|
Don't you want to get away to a whole new part you get to play
|
Cause we got what we need so come along and take a ride
|
To the other side
|
Now we can do like I do so we can do like me
|
Forget the cage cause we know how to make the key
|
Oh damn suddenly we're free to fly
|
We're going to the other side
|
