Fast Taker Lyrics by Manowar

Battle Hymns MMXI

1982

[Verse 1]
Mama's having problems, always comes to me
Your daddy's been a drinker since nineteen forty-three
They tell you I'm a loser cause I like being free
The truth is in the mirror, it's what they never see
I said, yeah, a long time ago
They tried to tell me, son, keep our daughter home
I said no, no, no, no

[Chorus]
Now, I don't mind them saying
That you should be praying for me
A fast taker
Right here's where I'm staying
Life's a game I play for keeps
Fast taker, bed breaker
Love maker, take it away

[Verse 2]
Only sixteen, a woman, not a girl
Old enough for a trip around the world
Pick you up on Friday when your daddy goes to sleep
Bring you back on Sunday
When he's watching Billy Graham on TV
He won't see me

[Chorus]
Now, do it right with music
Then you'll learn how to use it
All night, a fast taker
Right here's where I'm staying
Life's a game I play for keeps
Fast taker, bed breaker
Love maker, take it away

[Verse 1]
Mama's having problems, always comes to me
Your daddy's been a drinker since nineteen forty-three
They tell you I'm a loser cause I like being free
The truth is in the mirror, it's what they never see
I said, yeah, a long time ago
They tried to tell me, son, keep our daughter home
I said no, no, no, no

[Chorus]
Now, I don't mind them saying
That you should be praying for me
A fast taker
Right here's where I'm staying
Life's a game I play for keeps
Fast taker, bed breaker
Love maker, take it away
