[Verse 1]
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
The future hangs over our heads
It moves with each current event
Until it all falls around like a cold steady rain
Just stay in when it's lookin' this way

[Verse 2]
The moon's laying low in the sky
Forcin' everything metal to shine
The sidewalk holds diamonds like a jewelry store case
They argue "Walk this way", "No, walk this way"
And Laura's asleep in the bed
As you're leaving she wakes up and says
"I dreamed you were carried on the crest of a wave
Baby, don't go, come here"

[Outro]
The kids are playing guns in the street
One's pointing his tree branch at me
I put my hands up, I said
"Enough is enough, if you walk away I walk away"
He shot me dead
I found a liquid cure
From my land locked blues
It'll pass away like a slow parade
It's leaving but I don't know how soon
