We couldn't walk with such noise

This is something that I really need to say
The search for love, my dear, no it won't end in vain
And, darling, don't you know, the time and speed don't change
We'll always tick away the same

I want the sky to be my only boundary
There's a lot of people here and most I'd like to meet
Everything I need to know, I will learn slowly
I'll just take my time, but I'll always be up on my feet

What we need (what we need)
Is far away like a summer in Dublin or a walk in the rain
We couldn't walk (we couldn't walk)
With such noise if we left town
We'd attract the wolves
And they'd run us down
And gut us for sure

Like when the cops read my journal and asked me a question
"What are you, some kind of writer?"
I just smiled and shook my head
And I said, "Look, my friend, it's questions like these that stop us dead.
And that shiny badge, yeah, the one you keep polished,
well, it means nothing."
And it means nothing

What we need (what we need)
Is far away like a summer in Dublin or a walk in the rain
We couldn't walk (we couldn't walk)
With such noise if we left town
We'd attract the wolves
And they'd run us down
And gut us for sure.
