Take the Money & Run

As I crash and burn into the earth I am lost to all the moments of my life Each one is hung with disbelief They light a path that leads away into the night Am I wrong Are you right Am I gone We spend our lives accumulating things Just to toss them out the door with our last names Are we remembered for the love we share Or for the pain for which we surely are to blame As I glide into the atmosphere I can’t help but wonder how I will be grieved Will you cry yourself to sleep at night Will you try to drain my blood out of your veins If there’s love enough left to lift you Hear what I say Go on, take the money and run Go on, take the money and run Don’t carve my name into a stone Don’t lock me up Just let me go Go on, take the money and run In times of troubled mind and soul Remember all the love that brought you to this place And though you may not realize it now A part of me will always live in your embrace In times of troubled mind and soul Remember all those nights, the words that we once spoke Point your gaze upon the stars And know they burn for you to ease your pain If there’s love enough left to lift you Hear what I say Go on, take the money and run Go on, take the money and run Don’t carve my name into a stone Don’t lock me up Just let me go Go on, take the money and run
