Take me downGimme the scoreTell me Iâm goneTell me Iâm doneYouâve counted me outBefore the last bell has rungTell me Iâm goneHere brick by brickLetâs rebuild this lovely sceneYou say blood is thicker boyBut itâs not what these eyes seeThe truth is bitter realYes itâs a spinning wheelRound and around and around we goYou know I never really could get intoour conversationsJust merely confrontationsItâs a lovefest, an inspirationYou try to play preacherAnd teach me the ways of the worldThe path you have takenThe dark roadWas built on the lies that were toldTake me downGimme the score tell me Iâm goneTell me Iâm doneYouâve counted me outbefore the last bell has rungTake me downDeeper and deeperRight through the heartTell me Iâm doneAll roads are blockedand thereâs no where to runTell me Iâm goneYou know Iâve been wanderingAnd dragging this heavy soulLord knowsThese lessons youâre sellingSoul medicineIsnât try to meet yaOn that high plateauSo take the message to the chieftell him I ainât comingThis heartâs to proud it canât be brokenItâs a black tie affairAnd guess whoâs coming to dinnerYou make the words sound so sweetLetâs pretend that everythingsGonna be alright. AlrightIt took me a second to read yaJust wasnât my game foolFace me when I speak to yaTake me downâ¦
