Running To Stand Still
And so she woke up
Woke up from where
She was lying still
Said, "I gotta do something about
Where we're going"
Step on a steam train
Step out of the driving rain
Maybe
Run from the darkness
In the night
Singing, "Ah
Ah-la-la-la-dee-day
Ah-la-la-la-dee-day
Ah-la-la-dee-day"
Sweet the sin
Bitter the taste
In my mouth
I see seven towers
But I only see
One way out
You've gotta cry without weeping
Talk without speaking
Scream without raising
Your voice
You know
I took the poison
From the poison stream
Then I floated out of here
Singing, "Ah
Ah-la-la-la-dee-day
Ah-la-la-la-dee-day
Ah-la-la-dee-day"
She roams through the streets
With her eyes painted red
Under black belly
Of cloud in the rain
In through a doorway
She brings me
White golden pearls
Stolen from the sea
She is ragin'
She is ragin'
And the storm blows up
In her eyes
She will suffer the needle chill
She's running to stand still
Woke up from where
She was lying still
Said, "I gotta do something about
Where we're going"
Step on a steam train
Step out of the driving rain
Maybe
Run from the darkness
In the night
Singing, "Ah
Ah-la-la-la-dee-day
Ah-la-la-la-dee-day
Ah-la-la-dee-day"
Sweet the sin
Bitter the taste
In my mouth
I see seven towers
But I only see
One way out
You've gotta cry without weeping
Talk without speaking
Scream without raising
Your voice
You know
I took the poison
From the poison stream
Then I floated out of here
Singing, "Ah
Ah-la-la-la-dee-day
Ah-la-la-la-dee-day
Ah-la-la-dee-day"
She roams through the streets
With her eyes painted red
Under black belly
Of cloud in the rain
In through a doorway
She brings me
White golden pearls
Stolen from the sea
She is ragin'
She is ragin'
And the storm blows up
In her eyes
She will suffer the needle chill
She's running to stand still
