Lyrics for Take to the Sky

This house is like Russia With eyes cold and grey You got me moving in a circle I dyed my hair red today I just want a little passion To hold me in the dark I know I've got some magic Buried, buried deep in my heart, yes But my priest says You ain't saving no souls My father says You ain't making any money My doctor said You just took it to the limit And here I stand With this sword in my hand You can say it one more time What you don't like Let me hear it one more time then Have a seat while I Take to the sky Gonna take to the sky My heart is like the ocean It gets in the way So close to touching freedom Then I hear the guards call, call my name And my priest says You ain't saving no souls My father says You ain't making any money My doctor said You just took it to the limit And here I stand With this sword in my hand You can say it one more time What you don't like Let me hear it one more time then Have a seat while I Take to the sky Gonna take to the sky If you no don't like me just a little, well Why do you hang around? If you no don't like me just a little, well Why do you hang around If you no don't like me just a little, well Why do you, you take it take it take it, boy Ah, why do you take it, boy 'Cause this this this house, boy This this house, boy This this house, now Our, our house, boy Is like, is like, is like, is like This house is like Russia With eyes cold and grey You got me moving in a circle I dyed my hair red today But my priest says You ain't saving no souls My father says You ain't making any money My doctor said You just took it to the limit And here I stand with this sword in my hand You can say it one more time Come on then You can say it one more time Come on now You can say it one more time What you don't like Let me hear it one more time then Have a seat while I Take to the sky Gonna take to Take, take to the, take to, take to Take to, take to Take to Take to, take to Take to, take to, take to Take to Take to Take to Take to, take to Take to the sky, yeh Take to, to the sky Here I go again Take it again and again Take it and again Take it again and again Take it again, go and I feel I feel, I feel, I feel, I feel, I feel, I feel, I feel I feel the earth move under my feet I feel the sky tumbling down I feel the earth move under my feet And she's calling me out, calling me out I feel the earth move under my feet I feel the sky tumbling down now I feel my earth move under my feet She's calling me out, I said, she's Take me to, take to the sky the sky Take to, take to, take to the sky Take me to, know boy, you take to the sky, I said, I said take to the sky
