Running to Stand Still

Running to Stand Still - Early morning, April 4

And so she woke up

from where she was lying still

Said we got to do something about where were going

Step on a steam train

Step out of the driving train

Maybe run from the darkness in the night

Singing ha la la la de day

Singing ha la la la de day

Sweet the sin

But the bitter taste in my mouth

I see seven towers

But I only see one way out

You got to 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 ha la la la de day

Singing ha la la la de day

She runs through the streets

With her eyes painted red

Under black belly of cloud 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 the storm blows up in her eyes

She will suffer the needle chill

She is running to stand still
