Lyrics
Spent my last nickel
Stuck out my thumb
Straight out of Vogue in her Mercendes-Benz, she says,
ÒWhere are you from?Ó
I said, ÒWhat does it matter
If you can give me a ride?Ó
She said, ÒThen step right in we?re going
To the other side.Ó
WE?RE GOING TO THE OTHER SIDE - OTHER SIDE
WE?RE GOING TO THE OTHER SIDE - OTHER SIDE
WE?RE GOING TO THE OTHER SIDE - OTHER SIDE
WE?RE GOING TO THE OTHER SIDE
Now it wasn?t her stockings
Or her legs underneath
And it wasn?t her perfume
But it was so hard to breathe
I asked what her name was
She coldly replied,
ÒWhat should that matter to you
On the other side?Ó
CHORUS
I played my Brando
She played Coup Fere
We went down together
We went all the way...
She spoke in the silence
Of her French cigarette
She said, ÒThis is one thing
I?ll never regretÓ
I started the engine
She smiled like a bride
She said, ÒQuick, put your shirt on so the cops don?t know
We were on the other side.Ó
CHORUS
Somewhere in Scarsdale
A man?s been deceived
But between his martinis
Would he ever believe?
I dreamed of a car wreck
I dreamed that I died
But I woke up safe and alive
On the other side
CHORUS
