Taking Everything — текст песни (Bob Mould)

This fever on my mind / Im burning down inside

My luck may never change / or so it seems that way

I know in seven years / this curse will disappear

Where has my ladder gone? I feel like Ive been robbed



In taking everything from me now

Im making over what I hoped to be, I know

This is my only folder left with all these words

Youve taken everything from me now



You take my license plates / youve taken everything

The place where I belong / you take all my songs

Youve taken what I wanted / the few things that I kept

I turned around to help someone / and then you helped yourself



In taking everything from me now

Im making over what I hoped to be, I know

This is my only folder left with all these words

Youve taken everything from me now



So take away the skin / you scratch until you win

And in this lottery / what is the prize for me?

Id give you anything / but I cant match this happiness

Whats right or wrong / where do I belong?



In taking everything from me now

Im making over what I hoped to be, I know

This is my only folder left with all these words

Youve taken everything from me now



Where has my ladder gone? you take all my songs

Where do I belong?

In taking everything from me
