Land Locked Blues Lyrics - Bright Eyes

If you walk away I 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 

 

And the future hangs over our heads 

And it moves with each current event 

Until it falls all around like a cold steady rain 

Just stay in when it's lookin' this way 

 

And the moon's 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 Laura's asleep in my bed 

As I'm leaving she wakes up and says 

"I dreamed you were carried away on the crest of a wave 

Baby, don't go away, come here" 

 

And there's kids playing guns in the street 

And one's pointing his tree branch at me 

So I put my hands up I say 

"Enough is enough, if you walk away I walk away" 

(And he shot me dead) 

 

I found a liquid cure 

For my landlocked blues 

It will pass away like a slow parade 

It's leaving but I don't know how soon 

 

And the world's got me dizzy again 

You'd think after twenty-two years I'd be used to the spin 

And it only feels worse when I stay in one place 

So I'm always pacing around or walking away 

 

I keep drinking the ink from my pen 

And I'm balancing history books up on my head 

But it all boils down to one quotable phrase 

If you love something give it away 

 

A good woman will pick you apart 

A box full of suggestions for your possible heart 

But you may be offended and you may be afraid 

But don't walk away, don't walk away 

 

We made love on the living room floor 

With the noise in the background from a televised war 

And in the deafening pleasure I thought I heard someone say 

If we walk away, they'll walk away 

 

But greed is a bottomless pit 

And our freedom's a joke we're just taking a piss 

And the whole world must watch the sad comic display 

If you're still free start runnin' away 

'Cause we're comin' for ya 

 

I've grown tired of holding this pose 

I feel more like a stranger each time I come home 

So I'm making a deal with the devils of fame 

Sayin' let me walk away, please 

 

You'll be free child once you have died 

From the shackles of language and measurable time 

And then we can trade places, play musical graves 

Till then walk away, walk away, walk away, walk away 

 

So I'm up at dawn, putting on my shoes 

I just want to make a clean escape 

I'm leaving but I don't know where to 

I know I'm leaving but I don't know where to
