Walk Away lyrics
by 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 leaver

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

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 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, 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



And as you walk away

Oh, as you walk away

And as you walk away

My headstone crumbles down

As you walk away

The Hollywood wind's a howl

As you walk away

The Kremlin's falling

As you walk away

Radio Four is static

As you walk away

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
