Lyrics Rickie Lee Jones

Rickie Lee Jones

It Takes You There

What you are you can never erase

It's here til the end of time

What you lost you will never replace

Still you're trying to find

You don't do it for god

You don't do it for love

You're back on the street because

It takes you there

It takes you there

It takes you there

What you have will never be enough

You will always want more

But lift me out, over one more night

All I want is what I was before

I don't do it for god

I don't do it for jesus

I'm back on the street because

It takes you there

Takes you there

It takes you there

Takes you there,

Oh

I had a dream

I know it seems so absurd

We all live in a house on a hill

Nobody has to say a word

I wake up

It's the middle of the night

The room is opening with love

I try to hold on to this golden light

But I fall hard from above

I don't do it for money

I don't do it for god

I'm back on the street because

It takes you there

Takes you there

It takes you there

Takes you there

Takes you there

Takes you there

Takes you there

Takes you there
