Lyrics

The Wrong Side Now

Could you have a clue just what you're doing to me?

You know me far too well, it's a sting

And life is a carnival but we're the next unmentioned

You picked a fine, fine way to say goodbye

As if that's the only trick to the prize

I'm on the wrong side now

I'm on the wrong side now

I'm on the wrong side now

And I could never learn

You wanna play, you get burned

You taught me the stiff defences, but you kept the secrets

And you with the patience of a clock

Now I'm wound up so tight, and sleep's cold comfort

The days so long, but bittersweet

The time on my hands slips, trips up my feet, oh

I'm on the wrong side now

I'm on the wrong side now

I'm on the wrong side now

And I could never learn

I'm on the wrong side now

I'm on the wrong side now

I'm on the wrong side now

And I could never learn

You wanna play, you get burnt

I'm on the wrong side now

I'm on the wrong side now

I'm on the wrong side now

Yeh and I could never learn

I'm on the wrong side now

I'm on the wrong side now

I'm on the wrong side now

And I could never learn (I could never learn)

And I could never learn (I could never learn)

You wanna play, you get burned
