Take Me Down

(الألبوم: As The Music Plays - 2004)

Take me down
Give me the score
Tell me I'm gone
Tell me I'm done
You've counted me out
Before the last bell has rung
Tell me I'm
Tell me I'm

Here, brick by brick
Let's rebuild this lovely scene
You say blood is thicker, boy
But it's not what these eyes see
The truth is bitter real
Yes, it's a spinning wheel
Round and around and around we go
You know I never really could get into our conversations
Just merely confrontations
It's a lovefest, an inspiration

You try to play preacher
And teach me the ways of the world
The path you have taken
The dark road was built on the lies that were told

Take me down
Give me the score
Tell me I'm gone
Tell me I'm done
You've counted me out
Before the last bell has rung
Take me down
Deeper and deeper
Right through the heart
Tell me I'm done
All roads are blocked
And there's nowhere to run
Tell me I'm
Tell me I'm gone
I'm gone
I'm gone
I'm gone

You know I've been wandering
And dragging this heavy soul
Lord knows
These lessons you're selling
Soul medicine
Isn't easy just follow
I'll try to meet ya on that high plateau
So take the message to the chief
Tell him I ain't coming
This heart's too proud, it can't be broken
It's a black tie affair
And guess who's coming to dinner, to dinner, to dinner...

You make the words sound so sweet
Let's pretend that everything's gonna be alright, alright
It took me a second to read ya
Just wasn't my game, fool
Face me when I speak to ya

Take me down
Give me the score
Tell me I'm gone
Tell me I'm done
You've counted me out
Before the last bell has rung
Take me down
Deeper and deeper
Right through the heart
Tell me I'm done
All roads are blocked
And there's nowhere to run
