Take the Money and Run

As I crash and burn into the earth
I am lost in all the moments of my life

Each one is hung in disbelief
They light a path that leads the way into the night
Am I wrong?
Were you right?
Am I gone?

I've spent a life accumulating things
Just to toss them out the door with my last name

Are we remembered for the love we share
Or for the pain for which we surely are to blame?

As I glide into the atmosphere
I can't help but wonder if I will be grieved

Will you cry yourself to sleep at night
Will you try to drain my blood out of your veins?

If there's love enough left to lift you
Hear what I sing

Go on, take the money and run
Go on, take the money and run
Don't carve my name into a stone
Don't lock me up
Just let me go
Come on, take the money and run

In times of troubled mind and soul
Remember all the love that brought you to this place

Though you may not realize it now
A part of me will always live in your embrace

In times of troubled mind and soul
Remember all the nights, the words that we once spoke

Just point your gaze upon the stars
And know they burn for you to ease your pain

If there's love enough left to lift you
Hear what I sing

Go on, take the money and run
Go on, take the money and run
Don't carve my name into a stone
Don't lock me up
Just let me go
Come on, take the money and run
