You know me far too well, it's a sting And life is a carnival but we're the next unmentioned You picked a fine, fine way to say goodbye As if that's the only trick to the prize I'm on the wrong side now I'm on the wrong side now I'm on the wrong side now And I could never learn You wanna play, you get burned You taught me the stiff defences, but you kept the secrets And you with the patience of a clock Now I'm wound up so tight, and sleep's cold comfort The days so long, but bittersweet The time on my hands slips, trips up my feet, oh I'm on the wrong side now I'm on the wrong side now I'm on the wrong side now And I could never learn I'm on the wrong side now I'm on the wrong side now I'm on the wrong side now And I could never learn You wanna play, you get burnt I'm on the wrong side now I'm on the wrong side now I'm on the wrong side now Yeh and I could never learn I'm on the wrong side now I'm on the wrong side now I'm on the wrong side now And I could never learn (I could never learn) And I could never learn (I could never learn) You wanna play, you get burned
