Let's walk on by, this time, this time Let's keep it right, just like it used to be It's such a long and wasted ride When you're on your own, when you're all alone I throw a word in for the real men Hey driver man, hey cardboard man On a cardboard scene you know it's never make-believe Now, do you believe in me? And freedom's only what they strip away from you You fight back But what you gain is nothing like it
(Chorus) Let's walk on by It's a mellow song and I mean it well So don't you trample me down! Cause it took a lot of nerve For me to try and come across Let's do it, let's do it right I tried, I tried so hard I could only fail Let's do it, let's do it right
Right now, right now And don't you ever walk away from me I'm gonna need you round for the rebound I search myself for sheets of paper Some little stain, some little stain And this is all conclusive evidence Everybody rise, I rest my case
(Chorus)
Right now, right now I find it hard being strong these days I find it very hard, hard And even harder in the night-time When all these clouds come down I find I'm very, very, hard to define I could not be electric animal's, front-man All distorted, all noise And this is never, ever, my familiar voice
