Atlantic Records presents
OTHER SIDE
FROM THE GREATEST SHOWMAN
Right here, right now
I put the offer out
I don't
want
to chase
you
down
I know
you see
it
You run with me And I can cut you free
Out of the drudgery and walls you keep in
So trade that typical for something colorful
And if it's crazy, live a little crazy.
You can play it sensible, a
king of conventional.
Or you can risk it all and
seeeeeeeeeeeDon't you
wanna get away from the
same old
part you gotta play
'Cause I got what you need
so come with me and take the ride
It'll take you
to the other side
'cause you can do like you do
or you can do like me
Stay in the cage,
or you'll finally take the
Oh, damn!
Suddenly you're free to fly
It'll take you to the other side
Okay, my friend
you want to cut me in
Well I hate to tell you
but it
just
won't
happen
So thanks
but
no
I think i'm good to go
'Cause I quite enjoy the life you say I'm trapped in.
Now I admire you, and that whole show you do.
You're onto something, really it's something.
But I live among the swells
and we don't pick up peanut shells.
I'll have to leave that up to
youuuuuuuuuuuuDon't you
know that I'm okay with this
UPTOWN
part I gotta play
'Cause I got what I need
and I don't want to take the ride
I don't need to
see the other side
so go and do like you do
I'm good to do like me
Aint in a cage
so I don't need to take the
Oh, damn!
Can't you see I'm doing fine
I don't need to see the other side
Now is this really how
you like to spend your days?
Whiskey and misery, and parties and plays
If I were mixed up with you,
I'd be the talk of the town
Disgraced and disowned,
another one of the clowns
But you would finally live a little,
finally laugh a little
Just let me give you the
freedom to dream
And it'll wake you
up and cure your aching
Take your walls and
start 'em breaking
Now that's a deal that
seems worth taking
But I
guess I'll
leave
that
up
to
you
Well it's intriguing
but to go would
cost me greatly
So what percentage of the
show
would
I be
taking?
Fair enough
you'd want a
piece of all
the action
I'd give you seven, we could shake and make it happen
I wasn't born this morning, eighteen would be just fine
Why not just go ahead and ask for nickels on the dime
15
I'd do
8
12
Maybe
9
~ 10 ~
Don't you
wanna get away to a
WHOLE NEW
part you're gonna play
'Cause I got what you need
so come with me and take the ride
To the other side
so if you do like I do
so if you do like me
Forget the cage
'cause we know how to make the
Oh, damn!
Suddenly, we're free to fly
We're going to the other side
