Walk Off - The National

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
