Taking Everything Lyrics - Bob Mould

This fever on my mind, I'm burnin' down inside 

My luck may never change or so it seems that way 

I know in seven years this curse will disappear 

Where has my ladder gone? I feel like I've been robbed 

In taking everything from me, now 

I'm makin' over what I hoped to be I know 

This is my only folder left with all these words 

You've taken everything from me now 

You take my license plates, you've taken everythin' 

The place where I belong, you take all my songs 

You've taken what I wanted, the few things that I kept 

I turned around to help someone and then you helped yourself 

In taking everything from me, now 

I'm makin' over what I hoped to be I know 

This is my only folder left with all these words 

You've taken everything from me now 

So take away the skin, you scratch until you win 

And in this lottery, what is the prize for me? 

I'd give you anything but I can't match this happiness 

What's right or wrong? Where do I belong? 

In taking everything from me, now 

I'm makin' over what I hoped to be I know 

This is my only folder left with all these words 

You've taken everything from me now 

Where has my ladder gone? You take all my songs 

Where do I belong? In taking everything from me, now 

In taking everything from me, now
