It Takes You There Lyrics - Rickie Lee Jones

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
