Might Just Take Your Life

(album: Burn - 1974)

I got more than I asked for,
there ain't nothing I need.
I took all till I had more,
I'm always taking the lead.

Old man shaking dice down on the street,
try'n to make a living somehow
but I'm really sure about getting things sorted out
and I'm getting ready right now.

You can't hold me,
I have told you.
Might just take your life,
might just take your life.

I've been called by many names
and all of them are bad.
I can take it all the same,
it's all I've ever had.

I've got something that you can't get
but one thing you can see:
getting there ain't easy
but it sure was hard for me.

You can't hold me,
I have told you.
Might just take your life,
might just take your life.

Every time I take a look
there's someone close behind.
They never used to make a pass,
the things that crossed their minds.

Now they tell me that it's all right
and they want to be my friend.
They're riding on my back.
When is it going to end?

You can't hold me,
I have told you.
Might just take your life,
might just take your life,
might just take your life.

Got more than I asked for,
got more than I need.
Got more than I asked for,
got more than I need.
Got more than I asked for,
got more than I need.
