Running to Stand Still

So she woke up, woke up

from where she was, lyin’ still

Said “I, I gotta do somethin’

about where we’re goin'”

Stepped on steam train

Stepped out of the driving rain, maybe

Run from the darkness, in the night.

Singing Ah,

Ah-la-la-la-de-day

Ah-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,

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-de-day

Ah-la-la-de-day

Oooooooooooo, Ooo Ooo Ooo Oooooo

She runs through the streets with eyes painted red

Under a black belly of clouds in the rain

in through a doorway, she brings me

white gold and pearls stolen from the sea

she is raging she is raging

and storm blows up in her eyes

She will,

suffer the needle chill,

She’s running to stand, still.
