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
