Walk It Down

Talking Heads · Little Creatures [1985]

I.. am just a number

& I... hang onto what I got

You say what you want to,

& I I I I'm just trying 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

When love and unserstanding,

Are ultimate crimes,

[And i said] walk it down,

Talk it down

[oh] sympathy, luxury.

Somebody will take you there.



Walk it down,

Talk it down

[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'm 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 should fly.



Walk it down,

Talk it down

[oh] sympathy, luxury.

Somebody will take you there

Walk it down,

Talk it down

[oh] sympathy, luxury.

Somebody will take you there.



Ain't no crime to believe,

I took my money, and bet my life.

What you see is what you get,

But it sure aint what we need.

Hey!



Walk it down

Talk it down

[oh] sympathy, luxury

Somebody will take you there.



Walk it down

Talk it down

[oh] sympathy, luxury

Somebody will take you there.



Walk it down

Talk it down

[oh] sympathy, luxury

Somebody will take you there.



Walk it down

Talk it down

[---Hey, hey, hey hey--]

[oh] sympathy, luxury

Somebody will take you there.
