If you walk away, I'll walk away First tell me which road you will take I don't want to risk our paths crossing someday So you walk that way, I'll walk this way
And the future hangs over heads And it moves with each current event Until it falls all around like a cold, steady rain Just stay in when it's looking this way
And the moon's laying low in the sky Forcing everything metal to shine And the sidewalk holds diamonds like a jewelry store case They argue, walk this way, no, walk this way
And Laura's asleep in my bed As I'm leaving, she wakes up and says I dreamed you were carried away on the crest of a wave Baby, don't go away, come here
And there's kids playing guns in the street And one's pointing his tree branch at me And so I put my hands up, I say enough is enough If you walk away, I'll walk away
And he shot me dead
I found a liquid cure from my landlocked blues It would pass the way like a slow parade It's leaving, but I don't know how soon
And the world's got me dizzy again You think after twenty-two years I'd be used to the spin And it only feels worse when I stay in one place So I'm always pacing around or walking away
I keep drinking the ink from my pen And I'm balancing history books up on my head But it all boils down to one quotable phrase If you love something, give it away
A good woman will pick you apart A box full of suggestions for your possible heart But you may be offended, and you may be afraid But don't walk away, don't walk away
We made love on the living room floor With the noise in the background from a televised war And in that deafening pleasure, I thought I heard someone say If we walk away, they walk away
But greed is a bottomless pit And our freedom's a joke, we're just taking a piss And the whole world must watch the sad, comic display If you're still free, start running away
Cause we're coming for you
I've grown tired of holding this pose I feel more like a stranger each time I come home So I'm making a deal with the devils of faith Saying, let me walk away, please
You'll be free child once you have died From the shackles of language and measurable time And then we can trade places, play musical grace 'Til then walk away, walk away, walk away
So I'm up at dawn Putting on my shoes I just want to make a clean escape I'm leaving, but I dont know where to I know I'm leaving, but I dont know where to
