Take Me

Take Me

Music: Graham Guest & Moses Guest
Words: Graham Guest

Take me when you go - It’s elementary
And then when I go, well I’ll take you with me
Got to go down to the showdown
Maybe fall down, you no count
Pencil-puching, eight-ball shooting slut

So you go out to the restaurant to play your final show
You have sixteen margaritas ‘cause you got no place left to go
And the waitress says “you suck!” ‘cause you can’t play what you know
And you pass out in the bathroom on a broken toilet bowl

You thought you had me there, didn’t you?
You can spin a line ‘bout to wrap around my head
You thought you had me there, didn’t you?
Well I’ll tell you once, and I’ll tell you well
You can take me straight to hell!

Take me when you go - It’s elementary
And then when I go, well I’ll take you with me
Got to go down to the showdown
Maybe fall down, you no count
Pencil-puching, eight-ball shooting slut

So you ride home on your tricycle shooting Teletubby smack
And you’re breathing in the colors when they throw you on the rack
And they tie you up in riboons and stick you in a sack
And they’ll dump you off in Waterville ‘cause you’re never coming back

You thought you had me there, didn’t you?
You can spin a line ‘bout to wrap around my head
You thought you had me there, didn’t you?
Well I’ll tell you once and I’ll tell you well
You can take me straight to hell!

Take me when you go - It’s elementary
And then when I go, well I’ll take you with me
Got to go down to the showdown
Maybe fall down, you no count
Pencil-puching, eight-ball shooting slut
