| Lyrics | |
| Piccadilly Radio version (Chance) | Released version (Atmosphere) |
| Walk in silence
Walk away in silence See the danger - always danger Endless talking - life rebuilding Don't walk away - face the danger Walk in silence Don't walk away in silence * See the danger - always danger Rules are broken - false emotions Don't walk away People like you find it easy Always in tune - walking on air * They're hunting in packs By the rivers, through the streets It may happen soon * Then maybe you'll care Walk away Walk away from danger | Walk in silence
Don't walk away in silence See the danger - always danger Endless talking - life rebuilding Don't walk away Walk in silence Don't turn away in silence * Your confusion - my illusion Worn like a mask of self-hate Confronts and then dies [or on the Effenaar live version: Corrupts and then dies] Don't walk away People like you find it easy Naked to see - walking on air * Hunting by the rivers Through the streets, every corner Abandoned too soon * Set down with due care Don't walk away - in silence Don't walk away |
| * Here the Effenaar live version follows the Piccadilly Radio version | |
|
The Piccadilly Radio version has the following additional words:
I'm - I'm just crossing the line - just crossing the line Trying to get back - right where I was Back where I was - see me crossing the line Don't walk away -- | |
