Take a Walk (The M Machine remix) Lyrics

All these kinds of places make it seem like it's been ages
And tomorrow, some new building will scrape the sky
I love this country dearly
I can feel the ladder 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 awhile
Then scattered across 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, oh)
I took a walk
(Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk, take a walk, oh)
Honey, it's your son
I think I borrowed just too much
We had taxes, we had bills, we had a lifestyle to front
And tonight 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

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, oh)
I took a walk
(Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk, take a walk, oh)

Honey, it's your son
I think I borrowed just too much
We had taxes, we had bills, we had a lifestyle to front
And tonight 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, oh)
I took a walk
(Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk, take a walk, oh)
