| [00:00.58] |
If you walk away, I'll walk away |
| [00:05.58] |
First tell me which road you will take |
| [00:10.74] |
I don't want to risk our paths crossing some day |
| [00:15.63] |
So you walk that way, I'll walk this way |
| [00:20.73] |
And the future hangs over our heads |
| [00:25.87] |
And it moves with each current event |
| [00:30.92] |
Until it falls all around |
| [00:33.07] |
Like a cold steady rain |
| [00:36.19] |
Just stay in when it's looking this way |
| [00:41.70] |
And the moon's laying low in the sky |
| [00:46.70] |
Forcing everything metal to shine |
| [00:52.21] |
And the sidewalk holds diamonds |
| [00:54.54] |
Like the jewelry store case |
| [00:57.14] |
They argue walk this way, no, walk this way |
| [01:02.90] |
And Laura's asleep in my bed |
| [01:07.65] |
As I'm leaving she wakes up and says |
| [01:12.06] |
"I dreamed you were carried away on the crest of a wave |
| [01:17.85] |
Baby don't go away, come here" |
| [01:23.20] |
And there's kids playing guns in the street |
| [01:28.44] |
And one's pointing his tree branch at me |
| [01:33.54] |
So I put my hands up |
| [01:36.11] |
I say "Enough is enough |
| [01:38.84] |
If you walk away, I'll walk away" |
| [01:42.44] |
And he shot me dead...! |
| [01:45.51] |
I found a liquid cure |
| [01:50.61] |
From my landlocked blues |
| [01:54.38] |
It'll pass away like a slow parade |
| [01:59.68] |
It's leaving but I don't know how soon |
| [02:25.87] |
And the world's got me dizzy again |
| [02:30.46] |
You'd think after 22 years I'd be used to the spin |
| [02:36.68] |
And it only feels worse when I stay in one place |
| [02:41.78] |
So I'm always pacing around or walking away |
| [02:46.92] |
I keep drinking the ink from my pen |
| [02:52.26] |
And I'm balancing history books up on my head |
| [02:57.38] |
But it all boils down to one quotable phrase: |
| [03:02.42] |
"If you love something, give it away" |
| [03:07.82] |
A good woman will pick you apart |
| [03:12.82] |
A box full of suggestions for your possible heart |
| [03:17.97] |
But you may be offended and you may be afraid |
| [03:23.22] |
But don't walk away, don't walk away |
| [03:28.21] |
We made love on the living room floor |
| [03:33.36] |
With the noise in the background of a televised war |
| [03:38.78] |
And in the deafening pleasure |
| [03:41.40] |
I thought I heard someone say |
| [03:43.99] |
"If we walk away, they'll walk away" |
| [03:49.25] |
But greed is a bottomless pit |
| [03:54.19] |
And our freedom's a joke |
| [03:56.57] |
We're just taking a piss |
| [03:59.35] |
And the whole world must watch the sad comic display |
| [04:04.45] |
If you're still free start running away |
| [04:07.90] |
Cause we're coming for you! |
| [04:30.38] |
I've grown tired of holding this pose |
| [04:35.43] |
I feel more like a stranger each time I come home |
| [04:40.68] |
So I'm making a deal with the devils of fame |
| [04:45.82] |
Saying, "Let me walk away, please" |
| [04:50.98] |
You'll be free, child, once you have died |
| [04:56.28] |
From the shackles of language and measurable time |
| [05:01.37] |
And then we can trade places, play musical graves |
| [05:06.32] |
Till then walk away,walk away,walk away,walk away... |
| [05:13.00] |
So I'm up at dawn |
| [05:17.85] |
Putting on my shoes |
| [05:21.74] |
I just want to make a clean escape |
| [05:27.02] |
I'm leaving but I don't know where to |
| [05:31.77] |
I know I'm leaving but I don't know where to |
