Lyrics

TAKE IT ALL


WITH EMPTINESS BEHIND MY SMILE
I SAY I GUESS IT'S BEEN A WHILE
BUT THERE'S NO POINT IN GOING ON WITH THIS CHARADE
RUN THE CREDITS FADE TO BLACK
AND AS THE FICTION TURNED TO FACT
I FLED THE SCENE, NOBODY RAINS ON MY PARADE

SO IF YOU WANT ME, HERE I AM?
?TAKE IT ALL, TAKE IT ALL AND WALK AWAY
COME AND GET ME IF YOU CAN?
?MAKE IT ALL, MAKE IT ALL A MEMORY
WILD WOMEN, WICKEN MEN?
?TAKE IT ALL, TAKE IT ALL AND WALK AWAY
TAKE IT I'LL DO IT AGAIN ANOTHER DAY

PUTTING ON AND TAKING OFF
I WONDER IF I'M GETTING SOFT
NEVER BETTER IS THE LINE I LIKE TO PLAY
TIME IS TICKING, NO RELIEF
IT ALTERS ME BEYOND BELIEF
AND I DON'T KNOW THE GIRL I WAS JUST YESTERDAY

PAY THE FEE, COME INSIDE
IT'S GONNA BE A BUMPY RIDE
I WANT TO KNOW THE REASONS WHY
I WANT TO LIVE BEFORE I DIE
I WANT TO RUN, I WANT TO STAY
I WANT IT ALL TO GO AWAY
THE DOOR IS LOCKED, I TURNED THE KEY
WHAT'S BEHIND IS NOT FOR YOU TO SEE

GIVING UP OR GIVING IN
I GUESS IT WOULDN'T BE A SIN
BUT I'LL TAKE MY TIME AND WASTE MY LIFE TODAY
COME SEE LA AND HEAD OUT WEST
I GUESS THAT IT WAS FOR THE BEST
BUT THEN ILLUSIONS COME AND GONE JUST FADE AWAY
