Running To Stand Still
And so she woke upWoke up from where she was lyin' still.Said I gotta do somethingAbout where we're goin'.
Step on a steam trainStep out of the driving rain, maybeRun from the darkness in the night.Singing ah, ah la la la de day
Sweet the sin, bitter the taste in my mouth.I see seven towers, but I only see one way out.You gotta cry without weeping, talk without speakingScream without raising your voice.You know I took the poison, from the poison streamThen I floated out of here, singingAh la la la de day
She walks through the streetsWith her eyes painted redUnder black belly of cloud in the rain.In through a doorwayShe brings me white golden pearlsStolen from the sea.
She is ragin'And the storm blows up in her eyes.She will suffer the needle chillShe's running to stand still.
