Landlocked Blues

 

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 someday

So you walk that way, I'll walk this way

 

And the future hangs over 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 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

And 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 would pass the way like a slow parade

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

 

And the world's got me dizzy again

You 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 that deafening pleasure, I thought I heard someone say

If we walk away, they 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 faith

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 grace

'Til 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 dont know where to

I know I'm leaving, but I dont know where to
