Take It Back

Take It Back
by Berkeley Social Scene

All those things left unsaid
burning beside your bed
danger comes for you in your sleep
Haunted by what you can't keep

And you could take it back
but you’d be right where you started
and you’re already where you started
And you could take it back
but you’d be right where you started
and there’s no way to take it back

All those things left unsaid
next to the dying and dead
daylight comes to clear the air
a memory of the whole affair

And you could take it back
but you’d be right where you started
and you’re already where you started
And you could take it back
but you’d be right where you started
and there’s no way to take it back

Follow your bliss as it falls off the cliff
Remember her kiss when you reminisce
The things that you miss are falling down the abyss
so swift the way your reality shifts

And you could take it back
but you’d be right where you started
and you’re already where you started
And you could take it back
but you’d be right where you started
and there’s no way to take it back

Take It Back

4th and final part of the Tremendous Celina Flanaghan Tetralogy

For the first three parts of the Tetralogy, check out my entries for Suitcase, The Lurker, and L'Occitane, respectively.

------------------

I. Prelude at Dawn.

(Celina:)

As this here day is dawning
You shall all fade to black
You'll be destroyed, for so I swore
And I won't take it back.

(The Lurker:)

I'm sitting on a treetop
And watching her attack
You took the forest from us,
But now she'll take it back.

(The Obnoxious Bitch:)

You thought you were the greatest,
But wait, you'll pay your price
You'll have to take it back then;
Celina's cast the dice.

(The Crooks:)

What is that rumbling sound, boss?
You hear that? I am scared.
Are they comin' for us?
Will they destroy our lair?

---------------

II. The Attack.

Here's a special gizmo for you
Courtesy of The Obnoxious Bitch
This'll do away with you
And all I have to do is pull the switch.

You said you had methods
Of making me talk.

Take it back!
No love for you guys.
Take it back!
Tears of joy in my eyes.

You thought you could torture me
Into submission.

Take it back!
No love for you guys.
Take it back!
Tears of joy in my eyes.

(~EXPLOSION~)

A beautiful explosion
So nice a thing to see
The forest ground is shaking
I set the monster free.

Now you are being blown away
Into the autumn sky
A perfect day to take revenge
A perfect day for evil crooks to die.

--------------

III. Blown Away.

Blown away
Blown away
Into the autumn sky

Blown away
Blown away
Into the autumn sky

Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh
Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh

--------------

IV. Reprise.

How do you like my way of taking
Revenge on you guys?
How do you like that, huh?
Just as this very day is breaking
You're dead, what a surprise!
How do you like that, huh?

That's my special way of taking
Revenge on you guys.
How do you like that, huh?
It's plain to see that I ain't faking
The tears
Of joy
In my eyes.
