Running to Stand Still

Since she woke up

She woke up from where she was

Lyin' still, sayin'

"I can do something 'bout where I'm going"

Still on a steam train

Step out of the driving rain

Come from the darkness

In the night

Singin', ha

Ha, la, la, la, dee, day

Ha, la, la, ha, la, dee, day

The sweet, the sin

The better the taste

In my mouth

I see seven towers

But I only see one way out

You gotta cry without weepin'

Talk without speakin'

Scream without raisin' your voice

You know I took the poison

From the poison stream

And I floated out of here

Singin', ha

La, la, la, dee, day

La, la, la, la, dee, day

La, da, la, dee, day

Ha, la, la, la, la, la, ha, dee, day

Oh, she runs through the streets

With eyes painted red

Under a black belly of cloud and the rain

In through a doorway

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

And she will suffer the needing, don't chill

She's running, she's running to stand still

Ooh, ooh

She's running to stand still

Yeah

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh
