Take A Walk Lyrics - Gossamer (2 Lp /1 Cd) - Passion Pit

All these kinds of places 

Make it seem like it's been ages 

Tomorrow's sun with buildings scrape the sky 

I love this country dearly 

I can feel the lighter clearly 

But never thought I'd be alone to try 

Once I was outside Penn Station 

Selling red and white carnations 

You were still alone 

My wife and I 

Before we marry, save my money 

Brought my dear wife over 

Now I want to bring my family state side 

But off the boat they stayed a while 

Then scatter cross the course 

Once a 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, oh-oh-oh 

Take a walk, oh-oh-oh 

I take a walk 

Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk 

Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk 

Practice isn't perfect 

With the market cuts and loss 

I remind myself that times could be much worse 

My wife won't ask me questions 

And there's not so much to ask 

And she'll never flaunt around an empty purse 

Once my mother-in-law came 

Just to stay a couple nights 

Then decided she would stay the rest of her life 

I watch my little children, play some board game 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 counts are overdrawn 

I took a walk 

Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk 

Take a walk, oh-oh-oh 

Take a walk, oh-oh-oh 

I took a walk 

Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk 

Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk 

Honey it's your son I think I borrowed just to 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 

And tomorrow you'll cook dinner 

For the neighbors and the kids 

We could rent the Wart of socialists 

And all their ten 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, oh-oh-oh 

Take a walk, oh-oh-oh 

I took a walk 

Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk 

Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk 

I took a walk 

Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk 

Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk 

I took a walk 

Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk 

Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
