Take a Walk - Passion Pit

[00:45.10]All these kinds of places
[00:46.66]Make it seem like it's been ages
[00:49.23]Tomorrow some new building will scrape the sky
[00:54.23]I love this country dearly
[00:56.04]I can feel the ladder clearly
[00:58.67]But I never thought I'd be alone to try
[01:03.79]Once I was outside Penn Station
[01:06.16]Selling red and white carnations
[01:08.48]We were still alone, my wife and I
[01:13.37]Before we married, saved my money
[01:15.81]Brought my dear wife over
[01:17.56]Now I work to bring my family stateside
[01:21.37]
[01:22.93]But off the boat they stayed
[01:25.18]a while then scattered across the coast
[01:27.62]Once a year I'll see them for a week or so at most
[01:31.62]
[01:31.87]I take a walk
[01:33.18]Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
[01:36.56]
[01:38.04]Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
[01:41.35]I take a walk
[01:42.54]Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
[01:47.43]Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
[01:50.93]
[01:51.55]Practice isn't perfect
[01:53.43]But the market cuts the loss
[01:55.81]I remind myself that times could be much worse
[02:00.68]My wife won't ask me questions
[02:02.74]There's not so much to ask
[02:05.12]And she'll never flaunt around an empty purse
[02:10.43]Once my mother-in-law came
[02:12.43]Just to stay a couple nights
[02:14.69]Then decided she would stay the rest of her life
[02:19.82]I watch my little children
[02:21.63]Play some board game in the kitchen
[02:24.32]And I sit and pray they never feel my strife
[02:27.95]
[02:29.38]But then my partner called to say
[02:31.63]the pension funds were gone
[02:33.88]We made some bad investments
[02:35.90]now the accounts are overdrawn
[02:38.21]
[02:38.46]I take a walk
[02:39.65]Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
[02:44.40]Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
[02:47.92]I take a walk
[02:48.98]Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
[02:53.85]Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
[02:57.30]
[02:58.12]Honey, it's your son,
[02:59.74]I think I borrowed just too much
[03:02.37]We had taxes, we had bills,
[03:04.24]we had a lifestyle to front
[03:06.93]And tonight I swear I'll come home
[03:09.12]and we'll make love like we're young
[03:11.96]And tomorrow you'll cook dinner
[03:13.84]for the neighbors and their kids
[03:16.53]We can rip apart those Socialists
[03:18.65]and all their damn taxes
[03:21.40]But see I am no criminal,
[03:23.34]I'm down on both bad knees
[03:26.15]I'm just too much a coward to admit
[03:29.15]when I'm in need
[03:30.34]
[03:30.59]I take a walk
[03:31.84]Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
[03:36.77]Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
[03:40.02]I take a walk
[03:41.27]Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
[03:44.76]Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
[03:49.38]I take a walk
[03:50.88]Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
[03:55.82]Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
[03:59.03]I take a walk
[04:00.22]Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
[04:05.27]Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
