Lyrics Franz Ferdinand

Franz Ferdinand

Walk Away

I swapped my innocence for pride

Crushed the end within my stride

Ami Emi

Said I'm strong now I know that I'm a leaver

I love the sound of you walking away, you walking away

Mascara bleeds a blackened tear, oh

And I am cold, yes, I'm cold

Emi

But not as cold as you are

I love the sound of you walking away, you walking away

I love the sound of you walking away, walking away, yeah hey

Why don't you walk away?

Why don't you walk away?

Why don't you walk away?

Cmi

No buildings will fall down

Don't you walk away

Cmi

No quake will split the ground

Won't you walk away

Cmi

The sun won't swallow the sky

Won't you walk away?

Cmi

Statues will not cry

Don't you walk away

Cmi

Why don't you walk away?

Why don't you walk away?

Why don't you walk away?

Hey

I cannot turn to see those eyes

As apologies may rise

I must be strong and stay an unbeliever

And love the sound of you walking away, you walking away

Mascara bleeds into my eye, oh

And I'm not cold, I am old

At least as old as you are

And as you walk away

Oh, as you walk away

Oh, as you walk away

My headstone crumbles down

As you walk away

The Hollywood winds will howl

As you walk away

The Kremlin's falling

As you walk away

Radio Four is static

As you walk away

Oh, as you walk away

Oh, as you walk away

Oh, as you walk away

Hey

The stab of stiletto

Ami Emi

On a silent night

Stalin smiles

Hitler laughs

Ami

Churchill claps

Emi

Mao Tse Tung on the back
