Walk Us Uptown Full Lyrics
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
