This is a filk based on the song "Otherside" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I used its meter and 3 or 4 lines. The rest is my creation and not for profit. I don't own the song or Sliders.

How long how long will I slide

She's gone...my life

I don't

I don't believe in love

Slit my throat

She's all I ever had

Thought I heard her voice

Just a memory...brought up by the past

You know you can never go back

I've got to face it

Crushed flowers a tattered hope

What it meant to me

A girl with eyes mysterious as the sea

Strange worlds could never change my mind

I've got to face it

face love's unreality

I've got to take it

I've got to take it

How long how long will I slide

She's gone...my life

I don't

I don't believe in love

Slit my throat

She's all I ever had

Pour my life into scattered tears

The lies are done and I'm spilling my guts

She wants to know how could I forget

I've got to face it

Scarlet streaks and she's in my head

A candidate for my soul mate bled

Break my soul...make it end

I've got to face it

face love's unreality

I've got to take it

I've got to take it

How long how long will I slide

She's gone...my life

I don't

I don't believe in love

Slit my throat

She's all I ever had

Spin round take me for a ride

All burned out on the otherside

I yell and tell it that she knew

my friend...my lover in disguise

I survive a mist...

a veil of pain

How long how long will I slide

She's gone...my life

I don't

I don't believe in love

Slit my throat

She's all I ever had

Thought I heard her voice

Just a memory...brought up by the past

You know you can never go back

I've got to face it

Crushed flowers a tattered hope

What it meant to me

A girl with eyes mysterious as the sea

Strange worlds could never change my mind

I've got to face it

face love's unreality

I've got to take it

I've got to take it

How long how long will I slide

She's gone...my life

I don't

I don't believe in love

Slit my throat

She's all I ever had

Take me back to the stories!
