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-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-oh-oh, the way is plain

The way is plain

Oh love, you give me what I need

You take like a one-armed bandit

Oooh, be my strength, be my portion

Oh love, you give me what I need

To live by your one commandment

Oh, be my strength be my portion

Be my strength be my portion

Take away my pride so I never have to lose

Never gonna lose, I played the game

I played a game

Take away desire so I never have to choose

Oh-oh-oh, lay the blame

Lay the blame

Keep me up all night so I never have to wake

Never gonna break away again

Away again

Give me no advice that I ever have to take

And you're not my friend

No, you're not my friend

Be my strength, be my portion

Be my strength, be my portion
