Taking Everything - Bob Mould

Taking Everything Lyrics

This fever on my mind, I'm burnin' down inside
My luck may never change or so it seems that way
I know in seven years this curse will disappear
Where has my ladder gone? I feel like I've been robbedIn taking everything from me, now
I'm makin' over what I hoped to be I know
This is my only folder left with all these words
You've taken everything from me nowYou take my license plates, you've taken everythin'
The place where I belong, you take all my songs
You've taken what I wanted, the few things that I kept
I turned around to help someone and then you helped yourselfIn taking everything from me, now
I'm makin' over what I hoped to be I know
This is my only folder left with all these words
You've taken everything from me nowSo take away the skin, you scratch until you win
And in this lottery, what is the prize for me?
I'd give you anything but I can't match this happiness
What's right or wrong? Where do I belong?In taking everything from me, now
I'm makin' over what I hoped to be I know
This is my only folder left with all these words

You've taken everything from me nowWhere has my ladder gone? You take all my songs
Where do I belong? In taking everything from me, now
In taking everything from me, now
