Fast Taker
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.
Mama is having troubles,
It always comes from me
Your daddy said that drink is
Is not yours for the free
They tell you I'm a loser
'Cause I like see 'em breed
But truth is in the mirror
Is one thing never seen
I sing Yeah
Long time ago
You tried to tell me, son
People tried to hold on
I said no no, no no
No, I don't mind them saying
That you should be praying
For me, fast taker
Right here's where I'm staying
Life's a game I play
For keeps, fast taker, fast taker, fast taker
Take it away
Only sixteen
For more than not a girl
Old enough
For a trip around the world
Pick you up on Friday
When daddy goes to sleep
Bring you back on Sunday
When he's watching "Merry Granma" on T.V.
Oh yeah, he won't see me
Now do it right with music
Then you learn how to abuse it
All night, fast taker
Right here's where I'm staying
Life's a game I play
For peace, fast taker, fast taker, fast taker
Take it away
Mama is having troubles,
It always comes from me
Your daddy said that drink is
Is not yours for the free
They tell you I'm a loser
'Cause I like see 'em breed
But truth is in the mirror
Is one thing never seen
A long time ago
You tried to tell me son
People tried to hold on
I said no no, no no
No I don't mind them saying
That you should be praying
For me, fast taker
Right here's where I'm staying
Life's a game I play
For keeps, fast taker, fast taker, fast taker
Take it away
