Take it to the People

Give me luck, just say a number
the lottery’s aligned.
I could warn you, or let it fall apart
Give me love remember Jesus
Heaven needs a home
And I could never know, or ever wait
I feel lied about it. You lied through your teeth about it. All along…

Take this town help me make it out alive
Even if it takes all night, help me make it out alive

Take my hair and knot it
Salute the stars in heaven that fall all around you I swear.
Cross yourself alone in a steeple, confess your sins to a priest
And I could never know or ever wait

Take this town help me make it out alive
Even if it takes all night, help me make it out alive

Save what you have! But you blow it
You’re holding on too long
Even God wouldn’t make this promise
Even God wouldn’t wage this war

Ay-OH! Ay-OH! Ohhh!

Speak what I won't, in hell but I can't fight
holding onto words until the bitter end
Maybe we were forced to be a part
Cold and in the wind we count the morning stars

And you take what you need, we are lost outside bathing in the snow

Clothed but exposed, fumbling in the dark
In the back seat of your car where our bodies lie
Maybe we were candles in the wind
Feasting on our youth until the bitter end
And you take what you need, we are lost outside bathing in the snow yeah!
Chemicals well they slow us down, but I can't let you go
We are lost outside bathing in the snow

Holding on for ransom you were all ready for this now
And I'm losing my religion losing my existence for you now
And I'm losing to your tantrum losing all this fortune for you now

Slow down!
I can't let you go
we are lost outside bathing in the snow
Chemicals well they slow us down, but I can't let you go.
We are lost outside bathing in the snow....

Simple very I am...
Temporary I am...
Hopeless and lost and you know I miss you
Or maybe you don't or maybe you wont
But you know we share a child with a wave of issues

Help me love it never felt so right
I'm digging up denials cause you're a liar
Help me love it never felt so right
You haven't been on fire, cause you're a liar.

You know I want you only
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
We're out there on the beat
Where my childhood follows me
And we're out there on the road
Crossing street topped - cobbled stone
Underneath those city lights
Where I swore I'd kiss you.

Help me love it never felt so right
I'm digging up denials cause you're a liar
Help me love it never felt so right
You haven't been on fire, cause you're a liar.

And I needed you to know,
That the voice in the back of my head hears it all
And it's always all I want
Even though it may be wrong
Well you leave me no choice when you
Go where it's found
But it's always all I want!

Help me love it never felt so right
I'm digging up denials cause you're a liar
Help me love it never felt so right
You haven't been on fire, cause you're a liar.

Help me love
Board it up with - wood and nails
Help me love
Boy did I, boy did I get in over my head this time

They tell me that the road lays rough
They tell me it’s not hook enough
They tell me this but
I don’t’ want to fight - I don’t care anymore
Tell me that the look aint right
Tell me that the songs aint tight
Tell me this but
I don’t want to sing - I don’t care anymore
Even if you waited a while
Maybe it was you and I
Baby we could hold this together
And we’ll live forever against it all

You’ll never be the same
You’ll never know my name
You’ll never talk it out
Although I feel it now

Standing at the golden gate
Knowing that the world couldn’t wait
Knowing that if we held this together
Then we’ll last forever against the odds
Knowing that the sheets didn’t lie
Lady switch the lights, close the blinds
Always on the verge of becoming
What we’d been too loving to say “that you’re not”

You’ll never be the same
You’ll never know my name
You’ll never talk it out
Although I feel it now

You left me alone here to forge it in stone
And you tease me and pushed me around
But I need the love, I need the soul
The need was for all of this in sound
So leave it alone or leave if you want
Just remember you called me around
I pleaded “Surround Me” with all this love

You’ll never be the same
You’ll never know my name
You’ll never talk it out
Although I feel it now
