Never Take Me Alive
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'm leaving on the five train
Don't ask me when i'm coming back again
I reckon it's only a matter of time
Before the law kick in the door
Mother i'm running out of change,
But i had to phone to let you know
They'll never take me alive
They'll never take me alive
Mother i killed someone
It wasn't that i hated him
You see, he was trying to stop me
But he found out
I'd go the whole way
They'll never take me alive
They'll never take me
I can't tell you how i feel
Maybe you don't wanna know
Maybe, maybe
But anyway: i love you so
They'll never take me alive
They'll never take me
They'll never take me alive
