Taking Everything Songtext
von Bob Mould

This fever from a mind
I′m 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 I've been robbed

In taking everything from me now
I′m aching over what I hoped to be, I know
This is my only folder left with all these words
You've taken everything from me now


You take my license plate
You've taken everything
The place where I belong
You take all my songs
You′ve taken what I′ve wanted
The few things that I kept
I turned around to help someone
And then you helped yourself

In taking everything from me now
I'm aching over what I hoped to be, I know
This is my only folder left with all these words
You′ve 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?
I'd give you anything
But I can′t match this happiness
What's right or wrong?
Where do I belong?

In taking everything from me now
I′m aching over what I hoped to be, I know
This is my only folder left with all these words
You've taken everything from me now


Where has my ladder gone?
You take all my songs
And where do I belong?
You've taken everything from me now
You′ve taken everything from me now
