everyone here has got a mind of their own   i made a simple request over the telephone   radio man's got something to say   it's alright      over and over and over again   i made the same mistake about calling you a friend   one of these days i'm gunna get it right.      and all these people here   they're trying to be happy   and all these dreams are put to rest   things seem so much better   on the other side of town   the wishing wells get deeper and reality breaks down   on the other side of town   we'll all be better off out there on the other side of town      the cage is locked but you're trying to get out   you've been shut in and now you're having some doubt   you should have made your break when you had the chance last night      now you're stranded and feeling alone   and you're dreaming of ways to make it out on your own   don't give up cause it's going to be alright      and all these people here   they're trying to be happy   and all these dreams are put to rest   things seem so much better   on the other side of town   the wishing wells get deeper and reality breaks down   on the other side of town   we'll all be better off out there on the other side of town      things seem so much better   when all these dreams are put to rest      on the other side of town   the wishing wells get deeper and reality breaks down   on the other side of town   we'll all be better off out there   on the other side of town   the wishing wells get deeper and reality breaks down   on the other side of town   we'll all be better off out there on the other side of town
