Taking Me Over
Woke up in the wrong place
Stepped into some troubled times
I wanna shake up
Everything I've ever done
Used to see her as she was floating around
'Round the evergreen
She used to come away with me for awhile
Where I've never been
And now it's taking me over
Squeezing out that lemon dry
It's taking me over, yeah
Lord, I wanna see her cry
Take it far away now
Our body's hanging over the ground
It's taking me over, yeah
Lord, I wanna see us drown
Mother, I can't take this no more
(It's taking me over)
The dogs are preying outside the door
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Woke up in the wrong place
Stepped into some troubling times
I wanna wake up
Everyone I've ever known
I used to see her as she was floating around
'Round the evergreen
She used to take me away with her for awhile
Where I've never been
And now it's taking me over
Squeezing out that lemon dry
It's taking me over, yeah
Lord, I wanna see her cry
Take it far away now
Our body's hanging over the ground
It's taking me over, yeah
Lord, I wanna see us drown
Mother, I can't take this no more
(It's taking me over)
The dogs are preying outside the door
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Never wanted to be a soldier
War keeps coming my way
I don't need no full disclosure
Where the streets have no name
Heaven knows we shouldn't falter
If the feeling prevails
And you know it won't be long now
'Til the barricades fail, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Stepped into some troubled times
