One Foot In Frunt Of The Other Lyrics

You walk away ill 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
ill walk this way
The future hangs over our heads
And it moves with each
current event
Until it falls all around us like a cold steady rain
Just
stay in when it’s looking this way
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 is asleep in my bed
As I’m leaving she walks 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 ones pointin’ his tree branch at me
So I put my hands
up
I say  “enough is enough
If you walk away I’ll walk
away�
And then he shot me dead!
I found a liquid cure 
For my
land locked blues
It will pass away like a slow parade
It’s
leaving but I don’t know how soon
The worlds got me dizzy
again
You’d think after 22 years id 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’m drinking the ink from my pen
And I’m
balancing history books up on my head 
And 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 a possible heart
And 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 that 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 talking a piss
And the whole world must watch the sad
comic display
If your still free start running away
Cuz they’re
coming for yeah
I’ve grown tried of holding this post 
I feel more
like a stranger each time I come home
So I’m making a deal with the
devils of fame
Saying let me walk away please
You’ll be free child
once you have died
From the shackles of language in measurable time
And
then we can trade places play musical graves
Tell then 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’m leaving but I don’t know where to
