[Verse 1]
The mouth of a flower
The hummingbird waits
Guarding his morsel
As he takes, and he takes, and he takes
The mussel underwater
The seagulls split
The tide running after
As it takes, and it takes, and it takes
[Refrain]
And we take, and we take, and we take
Oh, we take, and we take, take, take
[Verse 2]
The huckleberry climber
The soul of a log
Climbing the church walls
To the golden core
And the worry of a mother
The creaking of a gate
Do ghosts get hungry?
'Cause they take, and they take, and they take
[Refrain]
Oh, we take, and we take, and we take
Oh, we take, and we take, take, take
[Verse 3]
The life of a father
King Solomon unlived
Lived out through his daughter
To the golden core
The mussel underwater
The algae in bloom
And what more could he offer?
What more to do?
The mouth of a flower
The hummingbird waits
Guarding her morsel
As she takes, and she takes, and she takes
[Refrain]
And we take, and we take, and we take
Oh, we take, and we take, and we take
Oh, we take, and we take, and we take
Oh we take, and we take, take, take
