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 someday    So you walk that way, I'll walk this way       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       And the moon's laying low in the sky    Forcing everything metal to shine    And the sidewalk holds diamonds like a jewelry store case    They argue, walk this way, no, walk this way       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       And there's kids playing guns in the street    And one's pointing his tree branch at me    And 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 from my landlocked blues    It would pass the way like a slow parade    It's leaving, but I don't know how soon       And the world's got me dizzy again    You think after twenty-two 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 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       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       We made love on the living room floor    With the noise in the background from a televised war    And in that deafening pleasure, I thought I heard someone say    If we walk away, they 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       Cause we're coming for you       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    'Til then 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 dont know where to    I know I'm leaving, but I dont know where to
