The Walk

Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I could be contended I don't need to suffer You're beautiful Good to talk to You make an impression To take my attention And when you touch my skin I smell disaster Step away, walk away All I want is the real thing (nothing but the real thing) Walking on pavements We collect in bars Asleep in the houses So alone, Looking inside herself She breaks the glass Turns her head backwards She's fallen down again
