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 Except to sing our sorrow Will you walk us uptown? While our tears run in torrents To suffer in silence or pray for some solace Will you wash away our sins In the cross-fire and cross-currents 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? Some hearts are sinking And some hearts are a-flutter Some scoop gold from the dirt in the gutter Or 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 We will feast on your flesh And drink down your blood Will you haul down that flag And dishonour that vow Cause we must not change It’s color now 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? That’s always assuming That you’re partly divine and partly human You’re the king of our hearts You’re the clown with the 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
