Give it up whatever holds you down Rip it out although it breaks your skin Paint it black then pull yourself out of the whole damn mess Read the sign that says come back soon But turn your back and laugh about the stores Grab your woes a silver toothbrush, and a red silk dress
(chorus)
People talk You just keep on walking They don't know how you feel People talk You just keep on walking They don't know how you feel
Subway crowds and supermarket lights Traffic fumes that slice into your lungs Vacant stares from perfect strangers in the city heat God is one that sounds like the truth There's a plan and still we must behave I suppose there's certain secrets You just don't repeat
(chorus)
People talk You just keep on walking They don't know how you feel People talk You just keep on walking They don't know how you feel
Give it up whatever holds you down Rip it out although it breaks your skin Paint it black then pull yourself out of the whole damn mess
(chorus)
People talk You just keep on walking They don't know how you feel People talk You just keep on walking They don't know how you feel
