Slash's Snakepit – Take It Away lyrics

[Intro]
You and I have been playing this game for so damn long
And I don't know why
These cards are too old, so I'm gonna fold
Bye-bye, bye-bye
Bye-bye
Yeah

[Verse 1]
Party's over and all our friends are gone
Was it something I said?
Did we have too much fun?
Guess you missed it, look around
It's never you who's to blame for bringin' everyone down

[Pre-Chorus]
It's never you who's to blame for setting the stage
You want it your way
Come on, come on, come on

[Chorus]
Why don't you take it away?
Take it away
Come on and take it away, take it away
Take it away, take it away
Why don't you take it away?
Take it away

[Verse 2]
Bad rumors goin' round
Nothin' said from my mouth
Why would you think it's you?
It's hittin' too close to home, now

[Pre-Chorus]
Is it me or you who carries the weight to deal with your pain?
And don't you hate it, too?
It smothers and drains all the same

[Chorus]
Come on, take it away
Take it away
Why don't you take it away?
Take it away
Why don't you take it away?
Take it away
Come on and take it away
Take it away

[Solo]

[Chorus]
Come on, take it away
Take it away
Why don't you take it away?
Take it away
Come on and take it away

[Intro Reprise]
You and I have been doin' the time for all of your crimes
And I don't know why
It don't make sense, it seems such a waste of time
Bye-bye, bye-bye

[Chorus]
(x2)
