This song has been haunting me since the first time I heard it. I had absolutely to find the lyrics, but I haven't been able to. So, I decided to try myself, listening to the song at various speeds. I'm not a native English speaker (I'm Italian), so I could have done gross mistakes. Please, feel free to correct me. As for the meaning of the song, I think it is a song of separation and death, somehow inspired by the Vietnam war. On the other side what a dream at the river the river was in Vietnam but the mouth was wide you got lost on the other side now and this call (?) is spinning spinning around in a circle and you are right you gotta lost on the other side now caught us dreaming the soldiers the rebel crew and baby I'm back and I'm dying I was lost it was the best thing to do when you cry is it you or am I still dreaming the talk (?) was light you got lost on the other side now on the other side now caught as dreaming soldiers the rebel crew baby I'm back and I'm dying on the other side on the other side now on the other side caught as dreaming on the other side 1:41
"It was like losing Elvis in a bathtub full of Downers, it was like waiting for the Stork all them months and being delivered a gold fish regurgitated from a Pelicans beak, "where's my baby where's my baby, as it writhed on the jetty and died in the sun, the California palm trees affording no shade from the horrors of Rock and Roll, the day Mr Pearce was nailed to the cross.🎉

My understanding is that all the songs recorded in the sessions recorded to date were unfinished songs, not quite finished. The artists performing each song I think have access to his lyrics and some of the musical structure. They interpret and then record. I may of course be wrong.
Dear Joseph. Thank you for your constructive remark. What i really meant : no one kew this song by JEFFREY LEE PIERCE. Of course that does not include you yourself. HA HA HA
the president of the Blondie fan club RIP

On the other side
what a dream
at the river
the river was in Vietnam
but the mouth was wide
you got lost on the other side now
and this call (?) is spinning
spinning around in a circle
and you are right
you gotta lost on the other side now
caught us dreaming
the soldiers
the rebel crew
and baby I'm back and I'm dying
I was lost
it was the best thing to do
when you cry
is it you
or am I still dreaming
the talk (?) was light
you got lost on the other side now
on the other side now
caught as dreaming
soldiers the rebel crew
baby I'm back and I'm dying
on the other side
on the other side now
on the other side
caught as dreaming
on the other side 1:41
