Some songs are easy to write and some are not, this song is the later. Everything about putting this song together was a bitch. We struggled with it so much that I nobody really enjoyed playing it live.
lyrics
I was drinking down at the avenue
down, down, down on the avenue
You were freakin' a dude too into you
That dude's just to into you
I'm in your head when you're on his bed
You're hanging on to every word I said
When you run and hide to the other side
Other Man is giving you a ride
I am
Saw you working it down on the boulevard
down, down, down on the boulevard
Arm in arm with a dude trying way to hard
to hard to get you in his riced out car
You need a man, who understands
How to work it in a custom van
Quadraphonic sound is layin' down
This boy is back in town
I am, I am the other man
I see you workin' it down Detroit Avenue
Lock step with a dude too into you
I am the other man
