running to stand still

and so she woke up

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 ha

ah la la la de day

ah la la la de day

ah la la de day

sweet the sin

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

ha la la la de day

ha 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's running to stand. still.
