CARY PARK

Lyrics

Mr. Taker (written by Cary Park)

(verse 1)
The landlord came down
Said your rent is due
It took ninety eight dollars of premium gas
Just to tell you it's time to move
He said I wish I had another reason
As I'm better off than you
You ain't the only one wishing
That I would leave the thresh hold of a screen door and your view

(pre-1)
He said it's the times and I can't help ya
I'm not here to sing the blues
Fallowed fields don't take seeds
I don't care about your first born
You're standing in my corn

(chorus 1)
I said yes Mr. Taker
But the harvest came to soon
Just a few days past the hour, and now you hang like a racoon
He said I'm not Mr. Taker
But I'll choke you till you're blue
It's my leaky roof that covered your ass
Now you best be on the move
Lets make this transition smooth

(verse 2)
He said it's the sweeping of the crumbs
I'll always be the broom
Go find a place far down the road
And I'll, find another you

This ain't no Cinderella Robin hood story
I'm just carrying bad news
You got six more nights to rest your head
Seven more afternoons

(pre 2)
He said there's a road that needs more traveling
A highway full of stars
A street corner waits for two more hands
Go sleep inside your car
Nothing melts my cold cold heart


(chorus 2)
I said yes Mr. Taker
But the harvest came to soon
Just a few days past the hour, and now you hang like a racoon
He said I'm not Mr. Taker
But I'll choke you till you're blue
It's my leaky roof that covered your ass
Now you best be on the move
Lets make this transition smooth

(verse 3)
Go buy a 40 of ol' 800
Find a trough to hang your head
A place where you can change your pants
And another where you can dance

(pre 3)
There's a vining rod for water
A hypnotist beneath your bed
Read some Marx and dream of plenty
Leave others with your debt
Back to Malibu I will head

(chorus 3)
I say yes Mr. Taker
But the harvest came to soon
Just a few days past the hour, and now you hang like a racoon
He said I'm not Mr. Taker
But I'll choke you till you're blue
It's my leaky roof that covered your ass
Now you best be on the move
Go find a cottage on the moon
