Running To Stand Still

And so she woke up, she woke up
From where she was lying still
Said, I gotta do something
About where we're going

Step on a fast train
Step out of the driving rain
Maybe run from the darkness
In the night singing

Ah, la, la, la, de, day
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 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

She walks 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
