Take to the Sky (Live) [Hammersmith Apollo, 04/06/05]

[Verse 1]

This house is like Russia

With eyes cold and grey

You've 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, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]

But my priest says, "You ain't saving no souls."

My father says, "You ain't making any money."

My doctor says, "You just took it to the limit."

And here I stand, with this sword in my hand

[Chorus]

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, take to the sky

[Verse 2]

My heart is like the ocean

It gets in the way

So close to touching freedom

Then I hear the guards call my name

[Pre-Chorus]

And my priest says, "You ain't saving no souls."

My father says, "You ain't making any money."

My doctor says, "You just took it to the limit."

And here I stand, with this sword in my hand

[Chorus]

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, take to the sky

[Bridge]

If you don’t like me just a little, well, why do you hang around?

(There she, there she, there she goes again, wearing those purple panties)

If you don’t like me just a little, well, why do you hang around?

(There she, there she, there she goes again, wearing her heart)

If you don’t like me just a little, well, why do you

(There she, there she, there she goes again, why do you take it?)

Take it, take it, take it, take it, take it?

[Interlude]

This house is like Russia

[Chorus]

You can say it one more time

You can say it one more time

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, take to the sky

Take to the sky, take to the sky

Take to the sky
