Rude Awakenings - Dropkick Murphys
The bed was still warm where I slept From these hours I wish to forget With the night still fresh on my breath I awoke to the grim face of death I thought it was all just a nightmare I guess it was true As I crawled across the floor for the door From one room I don't know to the next There was nothing familiar around And it just ain't my style to leave the seat down I pulled on my clothes still half in a dream As I struggled with my conscience & a multidirectional stream (What ya take her for) I buried my loneliness with her for the night Then I left with new symptoms no antidepressant could cure (What ya take her for) She took me for all I was worth May I remind you that ain't much at all A meaningless gesture in the meanest of times As it turns out you weren't worth the call I though it was all just a nightmare I guess it was true But now I'm left with a daily reminder of you With equal surprise she opened her eyes Sat up & shouted "for christ sakes who the hell are you!" (What she take ya for) She cooked me my breakfast then called me a cab Shoved me out the door & threw the five dollar Fare in my face (What she take ya for) She took me for all I was worth May I remind you that ain't much at all A meaningless gesture in the meanest of times As it turns out you weren't worth the call I though it was all just a nightmare I guess it was true But now I'm left with a daily reminder of you
