Verse 1: 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 some day So you walk that way, I'll walk this way Verse 2: And the future hangs over our 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 Verse 3: And the moon's laying low in the sky Forcing everything metal to shine And the sidewalk holds diamonds like the jewelry store case They argue walk this way, now walk this way Verse 4: 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" Verse 5: And there's kids playing guns in the street And ones 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 Bridge 1: I found a liquid cure From my landlocked blues It'll pass away like a slow parade It's leaving but I don't know how soon Verse 6: And the world's got me dizzy again You think after 22 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 Verse 7: 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 Verse 8 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 Verse 9: We made love on the living room floor With the noise in the background of a televised war And in the deafening pleasure I thought I heard someone say "If we walk away, they'll walk away" verse 10: 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! Break verse 11: I've grown tired of holding this post 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" verse 12: You'll be free child once you have died From the shackles of language and immeasurable time And then we can trade places, play musical grace Till then walk away, walk away Bridge 2: 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... I'm leaving but I don't know where to..........
