Franz Ferdinand - Walk Away Lyrics
Innocence for pride, crush the end within my strideSaid I'm strong now I know that I'm a leaderI love the sound of you walking away, you walking awayMascara bleeds a blackened tearOh, and I am cold, yes I'm cold, but not as cold as you areI love the sound of you walking away, you walking awayI love the sound of you walking away, walking away, hey, heyWhy don't you walk away? Why don't you walk away?Why don't you walk away? No buildings will fall downWhy don't you walk away? No quake will split the groundWhy don't you walk away? The sun won't swallow the skyWhy don't you walk away? Statues will not cryWhy don't you walk away? Why don't you walk away?Why don't you walk away? Why don't you walk away?I cannot turn to see those eyes, as apologies may riseI must be strong and stay an unbelieverAnd love the sound of you walking away, you walking awayMascara bleeds into my eyeOh, and I'm not cold, I am old, at least as old as you areI hear the sound of you walking away, you walking awayI hear the sound of you walking away, walking away, hey heyAnd as you walk away, oh, as you walk awayAnd as you walk away, my headstone crumbles downAs you walk away, the Hollywood winds will howlAs you walk away, the Kremlin's fallingOh, as you walk away, Radio 4 is staticAs you walk away, oh, as you walk awayOh, as you walk away, oh, as you walk away, heyThe stab of stilettosOn a silent nightStalin smiles and Hitler laughsChurchill claps Mao Tse-Tung on the back
