On The Other Side

Peeking through the garden fence

Jerry's got new shoes—

Emerald green

They make quite a view

Surely they look better than

My dirty, worn-out boots

I want to paint them just as green

Or trade them in for something new

On the other side

Green is turning grey

I guess that I've been colorblind from far away

In another life

Oh, everything's the same

Every day, the mirror shows another face

Yeah, I'm a stranger with my name

Jenny's living room is full of

Faces with a smile

A party would be fun sometime

So I fill my room as well

Everybody's dressed up

And I'm just stressed out

Maybe I don't need to have mine

And just join Jenny next time

On the other side

Green is turning grey

I guess that I've been colorblind from far away

In another life

Oh, everything's the same

Every day, the mirror shows another face

Yeah, I'm a stranger with my name

Wear your neighbor's Sunday clothes

Put on a face and forget that you know

Who you wanted to be before

On the other side

Green is turning grey

I guess that I've been colorblind from far away

In another life

Oh, everything's the same

Every day, the mirror shows another face

Yeah, I'm a stranger with my name
