Walk It Down by Talking Heads Lyrics

I (I am just a number)
And I (hang on to what I got)
You (say what you want to)
And I, I, I, I (just try 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

I can laugh, but I should cry
When love and understanding are the ultimate crimes

I said walk it down, talk it down
Oh, oh, oh
Sympathy, luxury
Somebody will take you there
Walk it down, talk it down
Oh, oh, oh
Sympathy, luxury
Somebody will take you there
She (says she remembers)
Time (long time ago)
We (belong together)
And I, I, I, I (turn up the radio)
Lies, lies and propaganda
I, 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 I should fly

Walk it down, talk it down
Oh, oh, oh
Sympathy, luxury
Somebody will take you there
Walk it down, talk it down
Oh, oh, oh
Sympathy, luxury
Somebody will take you there

Ain't no crime to believe
I took my money, I bet my life
What you see is what you get
But it sure ain't what we need
Hey!
Walk it down, talk it down
Oh, oh, oh
Sympathy, luxury
Somebody will take you there
Walk it down, talk it down
Oh, oh, oh
Sympathy, luxury
Somebody will take you there

(Walk it down, talk it down) hey, hey, hey!
(Oh, oh, oh) oh
(Sympathy, luxury) woo!
Somebody will take you there
