take care of me lyrics

I've been working a long, long time
Now I'm caught in a wicked bind
You offered love but I threw that out
I couldn't hear you, I was too busy shouting

Like a laughing hyena run out of breath
I shot my rocks off till there's nothing left
It's an old, old story, I suppose
A heavy price for a heavy pose

Just take care of me
Take care of me
Somebody should
Hey, I'm pretty good

International garbage man
I've decided that's what I am
I need somebody to pull me out
I'm sinking like crazy in my sauerkraut

Take care of me
Take care of me
I've done my best
Now you do the rest

Little boy, take out your toys
And then lay them on the table
Benwa balls and bugs that crawl
I can't enjoy them without love
Still I've been known to run around

And take care of me
But beware of me
Sometimes I'm a snake
Just after the take

And take care of me
Take care of me
I've done my best
Take care of me

Now you do the rest
Take care of me
I'll never forget
Take care of me
