Take
Take all the shit that they gave ya
Take the fresh paint from the walls
Take anything that ain't nailed down
Take one of the steps out so somebody falls
Take all the rugs and the curtains
Take every word as the truth
Take the big kickbacks and shortcuts
Take it with ice and a glass of Vermouth
'Cause you can make it so
But your ego don't know
Giving is easy
Taking leaves nothing
Something that you'll never get
In the end, honey
Like the strong scent of money
Fades and leaves lives to regret
Take all the time that is needed
Take every nickel and dime
Take the path back to my heart, dear
Back to the scene of the bloodiest crime
Take care of you and you only
Take your possessions you phony
Take your sweet lies and cold, distant eyes
Wrap them real tight and hit that highway
So you know the world is for taking
And just look at the path you're making
If you think that those close to you can't
Figure you out then
I'd say that you're sadly mistaken
Giving is easy
Taking leaves nothing
Something that you'll never get
In the end, honey
Like the strong scent of money
Fades and leaves lives to regret
Take the fresh paint from the walls
Take anything that ain't nailed down
Take one of the steps out so somebody falls
Take all the rugs and the curtains
Take every word as the truth
Take the big kickbacks and shortcuts
Take it with ice and a glass of Vermouth
'Cause you can make it so
But your ego don't know
Giving is easy
Taking leaves nothing
Something that you'll never get
In the end, honey
Like the strong scent of money
Fades and leaves lives to regret
Take all the time that is needed
Take every nickel and dime
Take the path back to my heart, dear
Back to the scene of the bloodiest crime
Take care of you and you only
Take your possessions you phony
Take your sweet lies and cold, distant eyes
Wrap them real tight and hit that highway
So you know the world is for taking
And just look at the path you're making
If you think that those close to you can't
Figure you out then
I'd say that you're sadly mistaken
Giving is easy
Taking leaves nothing
Something that you'll never get
In the end, honey
Like the strong scent of money
Fades and leaves lives to regret
