Take a Walk Lyrics

All these kinds of places Make it seem like it's been ages And tomorrow's sun and buildings scrape the sky. I love this country dearly I can feel the latter clearly But I never thought I'd be alone to try. Once I was outside Penn station Selling red and white carnations We were still alone, my wife and I. Before we married, saved my money Brought my dear wife over. Now I work to bring my family stateside. Got off the boat, they stayed a while then scattered 'cross the coast. Once a year I'll see them for a week or so at most. I took a walk (take a walk, take a walk, take a walk) (take a walk, take a walk, take a walk) Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh I took a walk (take a walk, take a walk, take a walk) (take a walk, take a walk, take a walk) Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh Practice isn't perfect but the market cuts a loss. I remind myself that times could be much worse. My wife won't ask me questions- there's not so much to ask. And she'll never flaunt around an empty purse. Once my mother-in-law came Just to stay a couple nights And decided she would stay the rest of her life. I watch my little children Play some boardgame in the kitchen [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/take-a-walk-lyrics-passion-pit.html ] And I sit and pray they never feel my strife. But then my partner called to say the pension funds were gone He made some bad investments, now the accounts are overdrawn I took a walk. (take a walk, take a walk, take a walk) (take a walk, take a walk, take a walk) Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh I took a walk (take a walk, take a walk, take a walk) (take a walk, take a walk, take a walk) Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh "Honey, it's your son" I think I borrowed just too much. We had taxes, we had bills, we had a lifestyle to front. And tonight I swear I'll come home and we'll make love like we're young. Tomorrow , you'll cook dinner for the neighbors and their kids. We can rip apart the socialists and all their damn taxes. You see I am no criminal, I'm down on both bad knees. I'm just too much a coward to admit when I'm in need. I took a walk. (take a walk, take a walk, take a walk) (take a walk, take a walk, take a walk) Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh I took a walk (take a walk, take a walk, take a walk) (take a walk, take a walk, take a walk) Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh I took a walk (take a walk, take a walk, take a walk) (take a walk, take a walk, take a walk) Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh I took a walk (take a walk, take a walk, take a walk) (take a walk, take a walk, take a walk) Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh
