lyrics

TAKE ME INSTEAD
(lap steel by j. tom hnatow. recorded at Treelady Studios by andrew morse)


I don't want to die
with no regrets.
Pretty much like seashells
down without my water's edge.
This is laundry in a bag.


Take me back to the basics.

We go up real high,
too high for nets.
Take me to the party,
let the party do the rest.


Take me back to the basics.
We strip down to our roots.


So the sun comes in.
And the tide is set.
Knocking on the water.


I am home to the basics.
I got down to my roots.
I broke into the mirror for the truth.


Thirty-odd teeth in a line.
Thirty-odd teeth in a row.


Take me back to what's basic.
I get down to the death.
Take me back, let him go.
Take me instead.


My mind is made up.
My mind, my mind, my mind is made up.


We go up real high.


What am i part of?
What am i part of?
What am i part of?
What am i part of?


I don't want to die...
I don't want to die...
