Lyrics
EASTSIDE
A new day breaks through a curtain of grey
City's cold, bus is late, I'm sitting here, accepting my fate
People 'round me all the same, theyÂ?re forced to play the waiting game
But no one really knows the rules excepting that, you gotta be cool
They can't or don't wanna face
Another day of hectic pace, money chase
On the East Side
The sun goes down through a purple haze
City lights, brighter than day I'm stepping out, ready to play
East or West I don't care
There's no point in being elsewhere
My state of mind is taking me there
Wherever I am, I'll be there
On the East side
I don't wanna face another day of fast pace
Money chase, staring out of my window
all I see is grey skies and fixate
on trying to stay strong, realise my fate
but everywhere I look I see takers, heartbreakers
the ones I thought I could trust
but I wont turn into dust
as I ain't got no cares
cause east or west I ain't ever gonna be elsewhere
I just hold my head up high
I'm strong right here where I belong
eastside
Then the sun goes down through a purple haze
City light's, brighter than day I'm stepping out, ready to play
People Â?round me all the same they wanna play the mating game
But no one really knows the rules excepting that, you gotta be cool
They can't or don't wanna face
Another night in an empty place, with no embrace
On the east side
They can't or don't wanna face
Another day, hectic pace
Another night in an empty place
On the East side
When the sun goes down through a purple haze
On the East side
Everyone expects you to be cool
On the East side
