Why don't you walk away?
As you walk away, the Kremlin's falling
Why don't you walk away? Hey
Why don't you walk away?
Stalin smiles and Hitler laughs
As you walk away, the Hollywood winds will howl
Oh as you walk away
And as you walk away
Why don't you walk away?
Mascara bleeds into my eye, oh and I'm not cold
I love the sound of you walking away, you walking away
I love the sound of you walking away, walking away, hey, hey
Oh as you walk away
Won't you walk away, the sun won't swallow the sky
Mascara bleeds a blackened tear, oh
I am old at least as old as you are
Oh as you walk away
The stab of stiletto on a silent night
And I am cold, yes, I'm cold but not as cold as you are
And love the sound of you walking away, you walking away
I cannot turn to see those eyes as apologies may rise
Why don't you walk away? No buildings will fall down
Oh as you walk away hey
Why don't you walk away?
I love the sound of you walking away, you walking away
As you walk away
As you walk away, radio four is static
I must be strong, stay an unbeliever
Don't you walk away, no quake will split the ground
Won't you walk away? Statues will not cry, don't you walk away
Oh as you walk away, my headstone crumbles down
