On the other side of town Broken hearts are never found They're lost out in the street Street that holds no sympathy On the other side of town Lonely soul and hand me downs Of the sidewalk is his home And all it brings a curling stone The concrete holds their memories City life's a fantasy And the night's a looking-glass It's to love or pay the past On the other side of town On the other side of town No guarantee of solitude To fall in love and never knew The wig on you Small town girl with a dream In her eyes a silent stare A victim of, no one who cares But she has her memories Reflections of the life she leads Hotels and one night stands Holdin' eyes to strangers And it's the price you have to pay For making it through another day On the other side of town On the other side of town The concrete holds their memories City life's a fantasy And the night's a looking-glass Look is to love or pay the past On the other side of town On the other side of town On the other side of town
