[00:00.89] Take A Walk
[00:01.72] passion pit
[00:02.65]
[00:44.90] All these kinds of places make it seem like it's been ages
[00:49.11] Tomorrow some new building will scrape the sky
[00:53.94] I love this country dearly
[00:55.99] I can feel the ladder clearly
[00:58.53] But I never thought I'd be alone to try
[01:03.60] Once I was outside Penn Station selling red and white carnations
[01:08.62] We were still alone my wife and I
[01:13.06] Before we married saved my money
[01:15.52] Brought my dear wife over
[01:17.47] Now I work to bring my family stateside
[01:21.31]
[01:22.66] But off the boat they stayed awhile then scattered across the coast
[01:27.36] Once a year I'll see them for a week or so at most
[01:31.83] I took a walk(took a walk, took a walk, took a walk, took a walk...)
[01:41.51] I took a walk(took a walk, took a walk, took a walk, took a walk...)
[01:51.18]
[01:51.64] Practice isn't perfect but the market cuts the loss
[01:55.61] I remind myself that times could be much worse
[02:00.50] My wife won't ask me questions
[02:02.70] There's not so much to ask
[02:04.92] And she'll never flaunt around an empty purse
[02:10.17] Once my mother-in-law came just to stay a couple nights
[02:14.62] Then decided she would stay the rest of her life
[02:19.58] I watch my little children play some board game in the kitchen
[02:23.95]
[02:24.24] And I sit and pray they never feel my strife
[02:27.67]
[02:29.14] But then my partner called to say the pension funds were gone
[02:33.65] He made some bad investments now the accounts are overdrawn
[02:38.26] I took a walk(took a walk, took a walk, took a walk, took a walk...)
[02:48.01] I took a walk(took a walk, took a walk, took a walk, took a walk...)
[02:57.24]
[02:57.94] Honey, it's your son I think I borrowed just too much
[03:02.07] we had taxes, we had bills, we had a lifestyle to front
[03:06.78] and tonight I swear I'll come home and we'll make love like we're young
[03:11.74] and tomorrow you'll cook dinner for the neighbors and their kids
[03:16.29] we can rip apart those socialists and all their damn taxes
[03:21.18] but see I am no criminal, I'm down on both bad knees
[03:26.00] I'm just too much a coward, to admit when i'm in need
[03:30.77] I took a walk(took a walk, took a walk, took a walk, took a walk...)
[03:40.27] I took a walk(took a walk, took a walk, took a walk, took a walk...)
[03:49.77] I took a walk(took a walk, took a walk, took a walk, took a walk...)
[03:59.41] I took a walk(took a walk, took a walk, took a walk, took a walk...)
[04:09.53]
