Oh, it's been a long time
Since he went away
And he's coming home
Tonight

Looking for clean sheets
Maybe something to eat
To get in from that cold, cold night

Well he takes and he takes and he takes
Where there's nothing left to give

He walks past that house
That he once knew
How it looks so different
In this light

Well he knows they don't need him
And she prays he don't see them
He is not what they need
Tonight

Well he takes and hе takes and he takes
Whеn there's nothing more to give

And if anyone asks
Where is the light
Tell them it never goes on
It never shines bright

And if this is the faith
I would rather face the void
And if these are your rules
I choose a life of crime

Well he takes and he takes and he takes
And there's nothing more to give

Let's hear it for the boy
How he makes a rotten man

Well he takes and he takes and he takes
When there's nothing more to give
