Musical/ Broadway Lyrics

The Other Side- 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 treachery 

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 see 

Don'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 key

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 

We don't pick up peanut shells 

I'll have to leave that up to you 

Don't you know that I'm okay 

With this uptown part I get to 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 

Ain't in a cage so I don't need to take the key

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 nickles on the dime 

Fifteen 

I'd do eight 

Twelve 

Maybe Nine 

Ten 

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 you do 

So if you do like me 

Forget the cage cause we know how to make the key 

Oh damn suddenly we're free to fly 

We're going to the other side 

So if you do like I do (To the other side)

So if you do like me (To the other side)

Cause if we do we're going to the other side 

We're going to the other side
