Running to Stand Still

And so she woke up

Woke up from where she was lyin' still

Said, I gotta do somethin'

About where we're goin'

Step on a steam train

Step out of the drivin' rain, maybe

Run from the darkness in the night

Singing ah, ah, la, la, la, de, day

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

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, la, la, la, de, day

Ah, la, la, la, de, day

Ah, la, la, de, day

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

She runs though the streets with her eyes painted red

Under a black belly of cloud in the rain

In through a doorway

She brings me white golden pearls

Stolen from the sea, she is raging

She is raging

And the storm blows up in her eyes

She will suffer the needle chill

She's running to stand still
