Talking Heads - Walk It Down lyrics

rate me

I...I am just a number

I...hang on to what I got

You...say what you want to

I...I...I...I just try to stay alive

I...put myself together

People say, get away, somebody will turn you in

Life, life without surrender

Togetherness...ecstasy is what I need

I can laugh, but I should cry

When love and understanding are the ultimate crimes

(And I said) Walk it down. Talk it down.

(oh, oh, oh) Sympathy. Luxury.

Somebody will take you there.

Walk it down. Talk it down.

(oh, oh, oh) Sympathy. Luxury.

Somebody will take you there.

She...says she remembers.

Time...long time ago.

We...belong together.

I...I...I...I turn up the radio

Lies, lies and propaganda

I...gonna tell you what I need

Life, life, without surrender

Togetherness...ecstasy is what I need

I got yours and you got mine

And I can swim, but I should fly

CHORUS

Ain't no crime to believe

I took my money, I bet my life

What you see is what you get

But it sure ain't what we need.

CHORUS
