i walk into the room
  you don't have to scream i can hear you
  bad trip, the needle sticks
  you get your fix from confrontation
  i try to make it past
  i don't wanna get into it right now
  can't this family have one day
  to get away from all the pain
    and through the night i see the light
  shining from the neighbor's windows
  i dream of life where i'm safe
  in a home where i am not alone
  some day i will lay me down
  on the grass where everything is greener
  it always seems so good on the other side
    i'm sick of all the heat
  you can taste the hate in the air
  running through this family, uncomfortably
  it's burning me
  is anybody there
  in your eyes there's nothing to see
  just because your dreams have died
  don't drag me down, i've still got mine
    [chorus]
    neighbor boy runs up to me, his eyes all black and blue
  i say what happened to you boy, he said my daddy flew
  off the hook cos i was playin too loud
  i guess he couldn't hear the tv
  he said son i'm a teach you a lesson
  and then he .... and then he....
    maybe it's not so good on the other side
  maybe it's not so good on the other side
  but it always seems so good, on the other side
  it always looks so good .... it always seems so good
