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
