Take me with you I'll break in two One half to wear around your neck The other to come home to Take me with you I'm afraid of what you will do We're on the verge of something good I wanna see it all the way through There was a time You cried at the news There was a time I tried to keep it from you Take me with you I'm government issue There's a war outside these doors I don't think you know what you're getting into Take me with you Just in case you continue Drinking in the city's sin And roaming like a lion on the loose

Circling the old neighborhood As the winter days are growing shorter Just like my mind, they couldn't decide Whether to stay, to rain, to sleep, or to defy Hammer in hand, prying open the paint cans Reluctantly breaking up a house of glass A dark place on the map A dark place on the map Visions of how it used to be Capone's poets up there on the balcony Wandering and waiting patiently Through fireworks, cursive words and smoke rings Standing there in my old place under the overpass Hung some Christmas lights, a horseshoe and an American flag A dark place on the map A dark place on the map Hanging down at the Lady of Snows With the beggars, the borrowers in yesterday's clothes Taking tickets from the windshields as we walked And staying up all around the clock The waitress handed us a tarot deck Oh, how the years have gone And how quick they went A dark place on the map A dark place on the map
