Paroles
If you walk away, I’ll walk away
First tell me which road you will take
I don’t want to risk our paths crossing some day
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 looking this way
And the moon’s laying low in the sky
Forcing everything metal to shine
And the sidewalk holds diamonds
Like the 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’ll walk away»
And he shot me dead
I found a liquid cure
From my landlocked blues
It’ll 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 22 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 of 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 running away
Cause we’re coming for you!
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
Saying, «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
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
Traduction des paroles
J'en ai marre de tenir cette pose
Je me sens plus comme un étranger chaque fois que je rentre à la maison
Donc je fais un marché avec les devils of fame
En disant: «Laissez-moi à pied, merci»
Tu seras libre, mon enfant, une fois mort
Des chaînes du langage et du temps mesurable
Et puis nous pouvons échanger des places, jouer des tombes musicales
Jusque-là, à pied, à pied
Donc, je suis à l'aube
Mettre mes chaussures
Je veux juste faire une évasion propre
Je pars mais je ne sais pas où
Je sais que je pars mais je ne sais pas où aller
