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 he takes and he takes When 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
