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

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
And it only feels worse when I stay in one place
So I´m always pacing around,
Or walking away

I´m 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 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 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 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
I know I´m leaving, but I don´t know where to
