You’re a long damn way from North Carolina now What a goddamn victory I guess Swimmin' it up like assholes at Sinalei The way my ancestors did And if they found me face down and dead in the chuck At least they'd know that I loved you this much I was happy I caved upon your insistence 'Cause now it all means something You and me in this ageless thing And it takes and it takes And it moves and he makes us of one mind And he takes and he takes And I wish I could make it so you could see yourself Just seeing everything Whatever it’s called out there in the firmament A screed, a view in an endless fear Of disquiet I never knew I had I guess But I am full to the head with unsayable things That I don’t want to forget And it takes and it takes And it moves and he makes us of one mind And he takes and he takes And it takes and it takes And it moves and he makes us of one mind And he takes and he takes Tenterhooks, 'cause the guys know that I am tender prey And heaven knows that if they balled me away Would I reach your love again? Flawless paradise and I’m raised up in the sky, blue sky In a bad deed with no good alibis Will I see your love again? Will I feel your love again? And it takes and it takes And he moves and he makes us of one mind And he takes and he takes, oh And it takes and it takes And he moves and he makes us of one mind And he takes and he takes, ooh I was born to survive by some cold inner space Til you called out and told me I belong in this place And when my body was splayed in a miracle mile "Let 'em catch me and kill me, let them take me in style" You’re the only one, the only one That I know in some way I’ll be thinking of When I've made my bed, I've paid my dues At least you’ll know that I loved you
