Passion Pit ☆ Take a Walk

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 I’ll 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
What’s my mother lacking
Just to stay a couple nights
And decided she would stay the rest of her life
And watch my little children
Play some boardgame in the kitchen
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
But tomorrow you’ll cook dinner
for the neighbors and their kids
We can rip apart the socialists and all their damn taxes
You’ll 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
