The Other Side, Part III

Gil Scott-Heron

A junkie walking through the twilight
I'm on my way home i left three days ago
No one seems to know I'm gone
Home is where the hatred is
And home is filled with pain
Lord, it might not be such a
Bad idea if I never, never went home again

Home is where I live inside
My white powder dream
Home was once an empty vacuum
But it's filled now with my silent scream
Home is where the needle marks tried
To heal my broken heart
Lord, it might not be such a
Bad idea if I never, never went home again

Stand as far away from me as you can, yeah
And ask me why hang onto your rosary beads
Close your eyes and watch me die
You keep saying, "Kick it, quit it, kick it
Quit it" god, but did you ever try?
And turn your sick soul inside out
So that the world, so that the world
Can watch you die can watch you die
Can watch you die, say

Home is where I live inside
My white powder dream
Home was once an empty vacuum
But it's filled now with my silent scream
Home is where the needle marks tried
To heal my broken heart
Lord, it might not be such a
Bad idea if I never, never went home again

Don't you know I might never go home
Never go home
Make all these plans and keep packing my bags
Not go, hey not go, not go
Not go, not go, not go, keep saying
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow
Tomorrow, tomorrow, first thing tomorrow
Tomorrow, I'll go, tomorrow, I'll go
I know it all the time
That I'm just buying time, saying
Kick it, quit it, kick it, quit it
Kick it, quit it, kick it, quit it
Kick it, quit it, kick it, quit it
Kick it, quit it, kick it, quit it
Kick it, quit it, kick it, quit it
Kick it, quit it, kick it, quit it
Kick it, quit it, kick it, quit it, kick it
Quit it i might never go home, never go home
Pack all my bags and keep standing around
And down and down and down and down
And down and down and down, and say I'm
Running and running and running, yeah, but I
Can't get away, can't get away everybody
Ain't that strong, ain't that strong
Go too long, feel yourself crash
Kick it, quit it, kick it, quit it, kick it
Quit it can't go home
Holding onto something, saying
Kick it, quit it, kick it, quit it, kick it
Quit it can't go home
And, yes, you'd like to go home
Mama could change it
Daddy could fix it, yes, if you could go home
If you could go home
Mama don't need, mama don't need
To see me this way, to know me this way
And touch me this way and love me this way
Can't go
Can't go, can't go, can't go, can't go
Can't go home say it to myself
Kick it, quit it, kick it, quit it, kick it
Quit it can't go home
I feel it in my soul, saying
Kick it, quit it, kick it, quit it, kick it
Quit it can't go home
Yes, yes, saying, saying
Kick it, quit it, kick it, quit it, kick it
Quit it can't go home
Yes, but I know, but I know, but I
Know, but I know, know, but I know
Can't go home yes, I'd like to go home
I can't go home i'd like to go home
Can't go home like to go home
Like to start all over, start all over
Start all over, yeah, like to go home
Like to go home say yeah, say yeah
Like to go home
