Take a Walk (Single)
Passion Pit

All these kinds of places make it seem like it's been ages

Tomorrow some new building will 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


But off the boat they stayed a while, then scattered 'cross the coast

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, oooooh, take a walk)


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


Once my mother-in-law came just to stay a couple nights

And 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 accounts are overdrawn


I took a walk

(take a walk, take a walk, take a walk)

(take a walk, oooooh, take a walk)


Honey, it's your son

I think I borrowed just too much

We have taxes, we have bills, we have a lifestyle to front

And tonight I swear I'll come home and we'll make love like we're young


Tomorrow you'll cook dinner for the neighbors and their kids

We can rip apart those socialists and all their damn taxes

You 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, oooooh, take a walk)
