Landlocked Blues-Bright Eyes

[00:00.000] If you walk away, I'll walk away [00:04.840] First tell me which road you will take [00:09.825] I don't want to risk our paths crossing some day [00:14.874] So you walk that way, I'll walk this way [00:19.765] And the future hangs over our heads [00:25.151] And it moves with each current event [00:29.958] til' it falls all around [00:32.757] In a cold steady rain [00:35.513] Just stay in when it's looking this way [00:40.959] And the moon's laying low in the sky [00:46.140] Forcing everything metal to shine [00:51.786] And the sidewalk holds diamonds [00:54.138] Like the jewelry store case [00:57.033] They argue walk this way, no, walk this way [01:02.972] And Laura's asleep in my bed [01:07.856] As I'm leaving she wakes up and says [01:12.146] "I dreamed you were carried away on the crest of a wave [01:18.322] Baby don't go away, please, come here" [01:24.255] And there's kids playing guns in the street [01:29.170] And one's pointing his tree branch at me [01:34.350] So I put my hands up [01:36.950] I say "Enough is enough [01:39.940] If you walk away, I'll walk away" [01:43.291] And he shot me dead [01:46.239] I found a liquid cure [01:51.335] From my landlocked blues [01:55.377] It'll pass away like a slow parade [02:01.100] It's leaving but I don't know how soon [02:27.221] And the world's got me dizzy again [02:31.745] You'd think after 22 years I'd be used to the spin [02:37.852] But it only feels worse when I'm stuck in one place [02:43.369] So I'm always driving around or walking away [02:48.934] And I been drinking the ink from my pen [02:54.184] I'm balancing history books up on my head [02:59.508] But it all boils down to one quotable phrase: [03:04.974] "If you love something, give it away" [03:10.387] A good woman will pick you apart [03:15.723] A box full of suggestions for your possible heart [03:21.152] And you may be offended, I know I was afraid [03:26.982] But don't walk away, don't walk away [03:32.047] We made love on the living room floor [03:37.294] With the noise in the background of a televised war [03:42.596] And in the deafening pleasure [03:45.263] I thought I heard someone say [03:48.415] "If we walk away, they'll walk away" [03:52.990] But you see greed is a bottomless pit [03:58.899] And our freedom's a joke [04:00.862] Now we're just taking a piss [04:04.026] And the whole world must watch the sad comic display [04:09.388] If you're still free start running away [04:13.343] Cause we're coming for you! [04:36.005] I've grown tired of holding this pose [04:41.477] I feel more like a stranger each time I go home [04:47.022] So I'm making a deal with the devils of fame [04:52.564] Saying, "Let me walk away, please" [04:57.938] You'll be free, child, once you have died [05:03.310] From the shackles of language and measurable time [05:08.697] And then we can trade places, play musical graves [05:13.938] Till then walk away, walk away... [05:20.376] So I'm up at dawn [05:25.745] Putting on my shoes [05:29.810] I just got to make a clean escape [05:35.694] I'm leaving but I don't know where to [05:40.701] I know I'm leaving but I don't know where to
