Franz Ferdinand Walk Away Lyrics

Walk Away Lyrics

Walk Away



I swapped my innocence for pride

Crushed the end within my stride

Said I'm strong now I know that I'm a leaver

I love the sound of you walking away, you walking away

Mascara bleeds a blackened tear, oh

And I am cold, yes, I'm 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, hey hey



Why don't you walk away?

Why don't you walk away?



Why don't you walk away?

No buildings will fall down

Don't you walk away

No quake will split the ground

Won't you walk away

The sun won't swallow the sky

Won't you walk away?

Statues will not cry



Don't you walk away

Why don't you walk away?

Why don't you walk away?

Why don't you walk away?

Hey



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, oh

And I'm not cold, I am old

At least as old as you are



And as you walk away

Oh, as you walk away



Oh, as you walk away

My headstone crumbles down

As you walk away

The Hollywood winds will howl

As you walk away

The Kremlin's falling

As you walk away

Radio Four is static



As you walk away

Oh, as you walk away

Oh, as you walk away

Oh, as you walk away

Hey



The stab of stiletto

On a silent night

Stalin smiles Hitler laughs

Churchill claps Mao Tse Tung on the back
