———————————————————

Harmony: Right here, right now
I put the offer out
I don't wanna chase you down
I know you see it
You run with me
And I can cut you free

Harmony: 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 queen of conventional
Or you can risk it all and see

Harmony: 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
Harmony: 'Cause you can do like you do
Or you can do like me
Stay in the cage, or you finally take the key
Oh, damn! Suddenly you're free to fly
It'll take you to the other side

Carol: Okay, my friend, you wanna 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

Carol: 'Cause I quite enjoy the life you say I'm trapped in
Now I admire you, and that whole show you do
You're on to 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 you

Carol: Don't you know that I'm OK with this uptown part I get to play?
'Cause I got what I need and I don't wanna take the ride
I don't need to see the other side

Carol: 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

Harmony: Now is this really how you'd like to spend your days?
Whiskey and misery, and parties and plays?

Carol: If I were mixed up with you, I'd be the talk of the town
Disgraced and disowned, another one of the clowns

Harmony: But you would finally live a little, finally laugh a little
Just let me give you the freedom to dream and it'll

Harmony: 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

Carol: Well, it's intriguing, but to go would cost me greatly
So what percentage of the show would I be taking?

Harmony: Fair enough, you'd want a piece of all the action
I'd give you seven, we could shake and make it happen

Carol: I wasn't born this morning, eighteen would be just fine

Harmony: Why not just go ahead and ask for nickels on the dime

Carol: Fifteen

Harmony: I'd do eight

Carol: Twelve

Harmony: Maybe nine

Carol: Ten!

Both: 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

Both: Forget the cage, 'cause we know how to make the key

Both: 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
(We're going to the other side)
'Cause if we do we're going to the other side
We're going to the other side
