Walk Us Uptown

Will you walk us uptown? And wherever you go you know we will follow Will you walk us uptown And we'll stand in the light of your new killing ground And we won't make a sound Save to sing our sorrow Will you walk us uptown While our tears run in torrents Do we suffer in silence or pray for some solace? Will you wash away our sins In the crossfire and crosscurrents As you uncross your fingers and take out some insurance No matter what the price It's your own paradise Will you walk us uptown? Will you walk us uptown? So hard to sink and then so hard to refloat Some scooped gold from the dirt in the gutter I'll swallow the earth pouring into your mouth As they bury us upright saying everything's alright Will you walk us uptown Like some said that you could If we feast on your flesh and drink down your blood Will you haul down that flag and dishonor that vow 'Cause it must not change its color you vow Will you walk us uptown? No matter what the price Each crushed in the corner of their own paradise Will you walk us uptown? Will you walk us uptown As always assume That you're partly divine and partly human We're the king of our heart You're the clown with a drum Will you walk us uptown If we promise not to run Will you walk us uptown Will you gather us near As cowards flee and traitors sneer Keep a red flag flying Keep a blue flag as well And a white flag in case it all goes to hell
