Side Effect

(album: High-Rise - 1983)

You set yourself way up
Finally your love came down
Your plans just but the dust
Couldn't turn it around
It's just another change
You had to go through
You needed love
But couldn't force yourself
To say I do

So you go along for a long time
And nothing seems to worry your mind
But what it adds up to
Its the side effect
That finally gets to you
Its the side effect
That finally gets to you

You made yourself believe
Nothing was on the line
You looked and walked away
At perfect time
And now you seem surprised
That we all knew
You needed love but
Couldn't force yourself to say I do

So you go along for a long time
And nothing seems to worry your mind
But what it adds up to
Its the side effect
That finally gets to you
Its the side effect
That finally gets to you

You needed love but
Couldn't force yourself to say I do

So you go along for a long time
And nothing seems to worry your mind
But what it adds up to
Its the side effect
That finally gets to you
Its the side effect
That finally gets to you

Say it, say it one more time
Its the side effect
That finally gets to you
Its the side effect
That finally gets to you
Its the side effect
That finally gets to you
Its the side effect
That finally gets to you
Its the side effect
That finally gets to you
Its the side effect
That finally gets to you
