Melissa Etheridge
Drag Me Away
[Verse 1]
Did you think that I was leaving?
My ticket was just one way
The angels I believed in
Were gonna carry me away
Did you think that I would simply
Give them my last breath?
Well, honey, you've got me wrong
I'd never leave you for death
[Pre-Chorus]
It's gonna take more than that to get rid of me
It's gonna take more than that to make me fade
[Chorus]
Oh, they'll have to tie me up and drag me away
They'll have to shut my mouth and drag me away
Hey, hey
[Verse 2]
There is no one I serve
And I am not here to please
I will not be a hostage
To my own disease
Oh, come on, come on, come on, come on out and hold me
Out into the great sunlight
No power on earth can stop us
We both become one tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
I've never been more sure of anything
I've never been more sure of what I am
[Chorus]
They'll have to tie me up and drag me away
They'll have to shut my mouth and drag me away
There's no dark that can overcome a flame
There's no force that can drag me away
[Bridge]
Oh, oh
Drag me away
Oh, oh, oh, oh
They'll never drag me away
They could bring an army
Ten thousand men or more
Their mass weapons of destruction
Won't even up the score
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, baby
They'll have to drag me away
Come on, come on, come on, come on, baby
They'll have to drag me away
They'll have to drag me away
They'll have to drag me away, hey, hey, hey
[Chorus]
They'll have to tie me up and drag me away, hey
Oh, they'll have to shut my mouth and drag me away
Oh, no dark that can overcome a flame
And no force that can drag me away
There's no dark that can overcome a flame
There's no force that can drag me away
