Running To Stand Still
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 steam train
Step out of the driving rain, maybe
Run from the darkness in the night
Singing ah, 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
