| 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» |
| To 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 |
| 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 knew 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 |
| 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 |
