Walk Away - Franz Ferdinand

I swapped my innocence for pride

Crushed the end within my stride

Said «I'm strong now I know that I’m a leader

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

Mascara bleeds a blackened tear

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

Why don’t you walk away?

Why don’t you walk away?

Why don’t you walk away?

No buildings will fall down

Why don’t you walk away?

No quake will split the ground

Why don’t you walk away?

The sun won’t swallow the sky

Why don’t you walk away?

Statues will not cry

Why don’t you walk away?

Why don’t you walk away?

Why don’t you walk away?

Why don’t you walk away?

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

I’m not cold, I am old, at least as old as you are

Lalalalalala…

And as you walk away, and as you walk away

And as you walk away my headstone crumbles down

And as you walk away the Hollywood wind’s a howl

And as you walk away the Kremlin’s falling

And as you walk away Radio 4 is static

As you walk away, as you walk away, as you walk away

The stab of stiletto on a silent night,

Stalin smiles, Hitler laughs,

Churchill claps Mao Tse-Tung on the back…
