Walk Away

Franz Ferdinand - Walk Away

I swapped my innocence for pride
Crushed the end within my stride
Said Im strong now I know that Im a leaver
I love the sound of you walking away
you walking away
Mascara bleeds a blackened tear
And I am cold
Yes, Im cold
But not as cold as you are
I love the sound of you walking away
You walking away
I love the sound of you walking away
walking away

Why dont you walk away? x3
No buildings will fall down
Why dont you walk away ?
No quake will split the ground
Why dont you walk away?
The sun wont swallow the sky
Why dont you walk away?
Statues will not cry
Why dont you walk away? x4

I cannot turn to see those eyes
As apologies may rise
I must be strong and stay an unbeliever
And love the sound of you walking away
you walking away
Mascara bleeds into my eye
Im not cold
I am old
At least as old as you are

As you walk away x3
My headstone crumbles down
As you walk away
The Hollywood winds a howl
As you walk away
The Kremlins falling
As you walk away
Radio Four is STATIC
As you walk away x4

The stab of stiletto
On a silent night
Stalin Smiles
Hitler laughs
Churchill claps
Mao Tse Tung
on the back
