[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
