OTHER SIDE OF THE WRECKING BALL

from Pauper Dreams by Bill Mallonee

/

lyrics

how you gonna make it to the door?
how you gonna pay up on...more than you bargained for?
How you gonna live down your past?
how you gonna define your current ragged ass?

yeah, this is gonna be one of those “baby-hold-on-tight-songs”
This is gonna be one of those “baby-please-all-night-long-songs”

chorus:

What do you see...when you look in the mirror?
God, you gotta make this a little clearer
Did you know ‘bout the ruin; ‘fore the fall
On the other side...
On the other side
On the other side
of the wrecking ball?

I’m sorry for the hurt...I’m sorry for the shame
I’m sorry for the frame...you had to rearrange
all bought and sold...yeah, the glitter and gold bought and sold
yeah, this is gonna be one of those “baby-hold-on-tight-songs”
This is gonna be one of those “baby-please-all-night-long-songs”

chorus:

what do you see when you look in the mirror?
God, you gotta make this a little clearer
did you know ‘bout the ruin; ‘fore it started to fall
On the other side...
On the other side
on the other side
of the wrecking ball?

self-loathing...well, she’s a wicked mistress, son;
spilling all the details through a bull-horn
mercy, won’t you kiss a simple fool

And I’ll buy you another round...and your new record, too yeah

(Repeat chorus)
