Take a Walk (Radio Edit) - Passion Pit

[00:20.600]All these kinds of places make it seem like it's been ages
[00:24.810]Tomorrow some new building will scrape the sky
[00:29.640]I love this country dearly
[00:31.690]I can feel the ladder clearly
[00:34.230]But I never thought I'd be alone to try
[00:39.300]Once I was outside Penn Station selling red and white carnations
[00:44.320]We were still alone my wife and I
[00:48.760]Before we married saved my money
[00:51.220]Brought my dear wife over
[00:53.170]Now I work to bring my family stateside
[00:57.010]
[00:58.360]But off the boat they stayed awhile then scattered across the coast
[01:03.060]Once a year I'll see them for a week or so at most
[01:07.530]I took a walk(took a walk, took a walk, took a walk, took a walk...)
[01:17.210]I took a walk(took a walk, took a walk, took a walk, took a walk...)
[01:26.880]
[01:27.340]Practice isn't perfect but the market cuts the loss
[01:31.310]I remind myself that times could be much worse
[01:36.200]My wife won't ask me questions
[01:38.400]There's not so much to ask
[01:40.620]And she'll never flaunt around an empty purse
[01:45.870]Once my mother-in-law came just to stay a couple nights
[01:50.320]Then decided she would stay the rest of her life
[01:55.280]I watch my little children play some board game in the kitchen
[01:59.650]
[01:59.940]And I sit and pray they never feel my strife
[02:03.370]
[02:04.840]But then my partner called to say the pension funds were gone
[02:09.350]He made some bad investments now the accounts are overdrawn
[02:13.960]I took a walk(took a walk, took a walk, took a walk, took a walk...)
[02:23.710]I took a walk(took a walk, took a walk, took a walk, took a walk...)
[02:32.940]
[02:33.640]Honey, it's your son I think I borrowed just too much
[02:37.770]we had taxes, we had bills, we had a lifestyle to front
[02:42.480]and tonight I swear I'll come home and we'll make love like we're young
[02:47.440]and tomorrow you'll cook dinner for the neighbors and their kids
[02:51.990]we can rip apart those socialists and all their damn taxes
[02:56.880]but see I am no criminal, I'm down on both bad knees
[03:01.700]I'm just too much a coward, to admit when i'm in need
[03:06.470]I took a walk(took a walk, took a walk, took a walk, took a walk...)
[03:15.970]I took a walk(took a walk, took a walk, took a walk, took a walk...)
[03:25.470]I took a walk(took a walk, took a walk, took a walk, took a walk...)
[03:35.110]I took a walk(took a walk, took a walk, took a walk, took a walk...)
[03:45.230]
