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
