Here are the full lyrics to "The Other Side" from The Greatest Showman ,
performed by Hugh Jackman and Zac Efron: Right here, right now
I put the offer out
I don't want to chase you down
I know you see it
You run with me
And I can cut you free
Out of the drudgery and walls you keep in
So trade that typical for something colorful
And if it's crazy, live a little crazy You can play it sensible, a king of
conventional
Or you can risk it all and see
Don't you wanna get away from the same old part you gotta play?
'Cause I got what you need, so come with me and take the ride
It'll take you to the other side 'Cause you can do like you do
Or you can do like me
Stay in the cage, or you'll finally take the key
Oh, damn! Suddenly you're free to fly
It'll take you to the other side Okay, my friend, you want to cut me in
Well I hate to tell you, but it just won't happen
So thanks, but no
I think I'm good to go
'Cause I quite enjoy the life you say I'm trapped in...
Now I admire you, and that whole show you do
You're onto something, really it's something
But I live among the swells, and we don't pick up peanut shells
I'll have to leave that up to you Don't you know that I'm okay with this
uptown part I get to play?
'Cause I got what I need and I don't want to take the ride
I don't need to see the other side So go and do like you do
I'm good to do like me
Ain't in a cage, so I don't need to take the key
Oh, damn! Can't you see I'm doing fine
I don't need to see the other side Now is this really how you like to spend
your days?
Whiskey and misery, and parties and plays
If I were mixed up with you, I'd be the talk of the town
Disgraced and disowned, another one of the clowns But you would finally live a
little, finally laugh a little
Just let me give you the freedom to dream
And it'll wake you up and cure your aching
Take your walls and start breaking now
That's a deal, the sure words
But I guess I'll leave that up to you Well it's intriguing, but to go would
cost me greatly
So what percentage of the show would I be taking?
Well, fair enough, you'd want a piece of all the action
I'd give you seven, we can shake and make it happen
I wasn't born this morning
Eighteen would be just fine
Why not just go ahead and ask? And on the dime, fifteen, I do eight, twelve,
maybe nine, ten, sir
Looks like you have yourself a junior partner
What I have is an overcompensated apprentice Don't you want to get away to a
new beginning?
Come with me and take the ride to the other side
So you do like I do
So we can do like me
Forget the cage, 'cause we know how to make the keys
Oh, damn! Suddenly we're free to fly
We're going to the other side
I got to the other side
The other, going the other side
We're going the other side
. This song is a duet between the characters P.T. Barnum (Hugh Jackman) and Phillip Carlyle (Zac Efron) in the film, where Barnum tries to convince Carlyle to join him in his circus venture and "take the ride to the other side"
