If you walk away I walk away

First tell me which road you will take

I dont wanna risk our paths crossing some day

So you walk that way Ill walk this way



The future hangs over our heads

And it moves with each current event

Until it falls all around us like a cold steady rain

Just stay in when its looking this way



The moons 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 Lauras asleep in my bed

As Im leaving she wakes up and says, I dreamt you were carried away

Baby dont go away, come here



And theres kids playing guns in the street

And ones pointing his tree branch and me

So I put my hands up. Say, Enough is enough

If you walk away Ill walk away

(And then he shot me dead)



I found a liquid cure

For my landlocked blues

It will pass away like a slow parade

Its leaving but I dont know how soon



The worlds got me dizzy again

Youd think after 22 years Id be used to the spin

And it only feels worse when I stay in one place

So Im always pacing around or walking away



So Im drinking the ink from my pen

And Im 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 will pick you apart

A box full of suggestions for a possible heart

And you may be offended and you may be afraid

But dont walk away. Dont walk away



We made love on the living room floor

With the noise in the background from a televised war.

And in that defining pleasure I thought I heard someone say

If we walk away, theyll walk away



Well greed is a botto
