Safe and Sound

So you want to walk my way
So you want to feel the same
Duties all along with rights
Sharing all my days and nights
So you want to walk my way?
Is that still the same?
You can't get out or rid of this

Cause when the frame gets hurt it crashes down
And your mother won't pick up your bones through town
Life's what you get out boy
Dirt and noise
And some wet ink paper by the telephone
No little mistake I've been exact
When counting all of the friends I've had
And how they dropped off, boy
From the Tanger beacon to Vienna

So you want to walk my way
So you want to feel the same
Duties all along with rights
Sharing all my fears inside
So you want to walk my way?
Is that still the same?
You can't get out or rid of this

Cause when the frame gets hurt it crashes down
And no house will keep you safe and sound
Until you quit them boy
They'll miss your voice
And clean the blackboard often 'til you name is gone
No little mistake I've been exact
When counting all of the friends I've had
And how they dropped off, boy
From the Tanger beacon to Vienna
