(+) Friends on the Other Side
Don't you disrespect me little man
Don't you derogate or deride
You're in my world now not your world
And I got friends on the other side
(He's got friends on the other side)
That's an echo gentlemen
Just a little something
We have here in louisiana
A little parlor trick don't worry
Sit down at my table
Put your minds at ease
If you relax it will enable me to do
Anything I please
I can read your future
I can change it 'round some too
I'll look deep into your heart and soul
(You do have a soul don't you lawrence?)
Make your wildest dreams come true
I got voodoo I got hoodoo
I got things I ain't even tried
And I got friends on the other side
(He's got friends on the other side)
The cards the cards the cards will tell
The past the present
And the future as well
The cards the cards just take three
Take a little trip into your future with me
Now you young man
Are from across the sea
You come from two long lines of royalty
(I'm a royal myself on my mother's side)
Your lifestyle's high but your funds are low
You need to marry a little honey
Whose daddy got dough
Mommy and daddy cut you off huh
Playboy?
Now y'all gotta get hitched
But hitchin' ties you down
You just wanna be free
Hop from place to place
But freedom takes green
It's the green it's the green
It's the green you need
And when I looked into your future
It's the green that I see
On you little man
I don't want to waste much time
You been pushed around all your life
You been pushed around by your mother
And your sister and your brother
And if you was married
You'd be pushed 'round by your wife
But in your future the you I see
Is exactly the man you always wanted to be
Shake my hand come on boys
Won't you shake a poor sinner's hand?
Yes
Are you ready? (Are you ready?)
Are you ready?
Transformation central
(Transformation central)
Reformation central
(Reformation central)
Transmogrification central
Can you feel it?
You're changin' you're changin'
You're changin' all right
I hope you're satisfied
But if you ain't don't blame me
You can blame my friends
On the other side
(You got what you wanted
But you lost what you had)
Ha ha ha ha
