The National - Walk Off lyrics
[The National - Walk Off lyrics]
Every house on the street will
Get on their feet
Carry the sleepers out into the weather
From the violet cities the violet cities
They'll turn on their lights
And open their eyes
Drop to their knees and they'll
Drink from the river in the violet cities
The violet cities
On and on, they'll lead us on and
On and on, they'll lead us on
We'll all get high and walk off
Into the country, ridiculous country
Where the blue sky will smother us
Believe me, believe me, believe me
The blue sky will smother us
They'll open their doors and they'll
Sing to the sun
We don't know anymore how to glitter, we come
From the violet cities the violet cities
If we stand there and
Stare and everyone's calm
They may never find out that
We came here at all from the violet cities
The violet cities
On and on, they'll lead us on and
On and on, they'll lead us on
We'll all get high and walk off
Into the country, ridiculous country
Where the blue sky will smother us
Believe me, believe me, believe me
The blue sky will smother us
Believe me, believe me, believe me
Get on their feet
Carry the sleepers out into the weather
From the violet cities the violet cities
They'll turn on their lights
And open their eyes
Drop to their knees and they'll
Drink from the river in the violet cities
The violet cities
On and on, they'll lead us on and
On and on, they'll lead us on
We'll all get high and walk off
Into the country, ridiculous country
Where the blue sky will smother us
Believe me, believe me, believe me
The blue sky will smother us
They'll open their doors and they'll
Sing to the sun
We don't know anymore how to glitter, we come
From the violet cities the violet cities
If we stand there and
Stare and everyone's calm
They may never find out that
We came here at all from the violet cities
The violet cities
On and on, they'll lead us on and
On and on, they'll lead us on
We'll all get high and walk off
Into the country, ridiculous country
Where the blue sky will smother us
Believe me, believe me, believe me
The blue sky will smother us
Believe me, believe me, believe me
