Take The Money And Run
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.
Ask yourself a question now,
there's a multiple choice / "You've only one shot,
get it right",
says a distance voice / Don't get your head into a spin / If only you could see the mess you're in.
/ The enemy is closing in,
see the white of his eye / He's taking aim,
his prey in sight,
it's just a matter of time / May the games begin,
the best man win / If only you could see the mess you're in.
/ Is it the pride in you that wont let go?
/ Is it the fool that wont let it show?
/ Free yourself,
if only you could see yourself / If only you could see yourself.
/ When the heavens opened up,
/ And the walls come tumbling down / And nowhere is the only place to go / When you've had enough of fighting / And every mean trick under the sun / And still you fear the worst is yet to come / Take the money and run.
/ Count the bottles one by one as they fall to the ground / Search your mind,
your heart,
your soul 'til the answers found / But watch your step the ice is thin / If only you could see the mess you're in / The man in black looks down on you the insignificant one / To be or not,
if false or true,
the deed is almost done / It matters not your loss to him / If only you could see the mess you're in.
/ Chorus / Take the money and run.
