Lyrics
Take Me Back
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I talk of six while forgetting five
Can't even taste if my food's alive
I'm watching music that I can't hear
Staring down some invisible fear
And once again the question's asked
I answer yes! But the moment's passed
I'm guess I'm always tomorrow-bound
How many more till I'm underground?
Oh, oh, I remember now
Too far below to turn around
Too bright a light to let go now
Take me back my friend
Take me back back on home
Now what I'm saying is nothing new
This repetition's right on cue
A wise man said you're amused to death
Too much talk too much wasted breath
You're overjoyed and over-fed
Over-sexed you're almost dead
Gotta work gotta stay awake
God I'm tired can I take a break
