Ugly Duckling - The Takedown lyrics
Your rating:
The blood starts pumping, the mind's alert The goal is in focus, time to work I've got raw nerves and a loss for words So you better not knock, do not disturb My heart palpitates insatiable Follow my nose, aimed at a place to go On the path I'm a pack of jungle cats Who can hunt as long as the hunger lasts I'm looking for a yes and I hate resistance You can break it down to the basic instincts Not gonna wait, better make it instant Or else stand back at a safer distance (Shhh) demons whispering A little idea telling me it's the thing So I dive down deep to apply surprise Like a great white killing with lifeless eyes I might try to stop but I'm out of control And I'm not cooling off so now that you know Don't allow me to blow cause I doubt I can hold And I'm about to (ahhh) [Chorus:] You better give it to me It's the take down Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me I'll take you down Deep down inside you know you're wrong Ah man, just relax, it's not that bad Wait, take one minute to think You gotta stay calm, you're on the brink Of disaster, pause and catch yourself Let's make some calls and get some help You need to understand what a mess you're in Before I notify your next of kin It's not that bad, your life's a wreck And I came to serve the reality check You think that you're slick and sliding by When you sit there sipping on cyanide With the people in your life left high and dry And don't try to hide those lying eyes What do you know, I know you're wrong I know that it's bad and it can't go on Well what do you want me to do, admit it Admit it, tell me that I'm right, forget it I'm out of here and if I burn a bridge (bleep) you I don't know if I'll return to this See, It's too late to manipulate A twist of fate and a lucky break I am what I am, not a role I can act And there's no going back and you don't know the half So if you want to judge and find a fault I'll bring this talk to a grinding halt [Chorus x2]
