If you walk away, I`ll walk away
First tell me which road you will take
`Cuz I don`t want to risk our paths crossing some day
So you walk that way, I`ll walk this way
The future hangs over our heads
And it moves with each current event
Until it falls around like a cold, steady rain
Just stay in when it`s looking this way
The moon`s laying low in the sky
Forcing everything metal to shine
And the sidewalk holds diamonds,
Like a jewlery store case
They argue walk this way, no, walk this way
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."
There`s kid`s playing guns in the street
And one`s pointing his tree branch at me
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
For my land-locked blues
It will pass away, like a slow parade
It`s leaving, but I don`t know how soon
The world`s got me dizzy again
You`d think after 22 years I`d be used to the spin
But it only feels worse when I stay in one place
So I`m always pacing around,
And walking away
I`m drinking the ink from my pen
And I`m balancing history books up on my head
And it all boils down to one quotable phrase
"If you love something, give it away."
A good woman would pick you apart
A box full of suggestions for a possible heart
And 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 defeaning pleasure
I thought I heard someone say
"If we walk away, they`ll 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
`Cuz we`re coming for ya
We`re gonna read them out
I`ve grown tried 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 fame
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 graves
tell them 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 don`t know where to
No, I`m leaving, but I don`t know where to
