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
