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 come 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
