Steve Jones - the other side Lyrics

She caught wind of the changes
Packed up all her things
Drove the highway off into the night
Past the cold black crooked trees
And she's turning down the back roads
Let the headlights lead the way to the other side

And the world just turns it's back to the pain
The sky just rains

In the silver blue white moonlight
He raised the ax and broke the chains
He could hear the dogs crying off in the distance
And the fear running thru his bones again
And he tiptoes across the stones in the river
Try and find safety on the other side

And the world just turns it's back to the pain
The sky just rains

Who cares if the earth splits open and swallows everything
Who cares about the lost and forgotten
Let them find their own way and start again, start again

When the clock struck midnight
She fit a bullet into the gun
Took one last look at the mess she made
And left a lonely note for no one
It said, there ain't no beauty I can see
It must be out there somewhere on the other side

And the world just turns it's back to the pain
The sky just rains

Men and women come and go, the earth remains the same
Dig the holes and bury the bones
They turn to dust and start again, start again

He washed his hands of the evil
And the blood flowed down stream
Buried his knife in the cool dark grass
And climbed the ridge to the road again
If he drives all day for the southern border
At night he'll reach a new life on the other side

And the world just turns it's back to the pain
The sky just rains
