Verse 1-
There was a boy
He had the voice of an Angel and sang to his parents for fun
He didn’t want toys
He wanted a piano so he could learn how to play in the clubs
His daddy was slaving away, but he didn’t get paid quite enough to escape from the slums
So the boy went for a walk and he had a long talk with a man who wore black and he coughed
he said “you sign this one thing it’ll give you the keys to”
Chorus -
My friends on the other side
They’ll take you anywhere you wanna go
My friends on the other side
They’ll give you whatever you want let em know
My friends on the other side
There’s only one thing you have to let go
To my friends on the other side
Say hello to the other side
They’re your friends on the other side
Verse 2 -
He started playing new shows with his elegant clothes and the fame was attached to his name
He was the talk of the town, as the crowd gathered round and they gazed at that way that he sang
He couldn’t control his own fingers, he played so damn fast, you would think he was Satan himself
The news wanted photos and more so he sat in these stores and he smiled, cause he was best
But then he remembered his father, he looked in the mirror, all the years had gone by in a flash
He went to the store where the man in the black gave him everything, there was a note on the desk
You gave a soul for the riches, but you didn’t read everything that you signed with my pen
Now that your father is mine I bet you won’t forget
Chorus 2 -
My friends on the other side
They’ll take you anywhere you wanna go
My friends on the other side
They’ll give you whatever you want let em know
My friends on the other side
There’s only one thing you have to let go
To my friends on the other side
Say hello to the other side
They’re your friends on the other side
