My Portion

When the morning comes and I wake up miles away,
any other day it’s all the same, all the same
With the rising sun there’s a hunger born again,
oh oh oh put out the flame, put out the flame
And the shortest road to the sunset doesn’t turn,
it’s what I gotta learn every day, every day
Just a few more miles to the point of no return,
oh oh oh the way is plain, the way is plain

Oh love you gimme what I need
You take like a one armed bandit
Oh be my strength, be my portion
Oh love you gimme what I need
To live by your one commandment
Oh be my strength, be my portion

Take away my prize so I never have to lose,
never gonna lose or play the game, play the game
Take away desire so I never have to choose,
oh oh oh or lay the blame, or lay the blame
Keep me up all night so I never have to wake,
never gonna break away again, away again
Gimme no advice that I ever have to take,
oh oh oh, be not my friend, no you’re not my friend

Oh love you gimme what I need
You take like a one armed bandit
Oh be my strength, be my portion
Oh love you gimme what I need
To live by your one commandment
Oh be my strength, be my portion
