Running to Stand Still (Live from Paris, Jul. 4, 1987)

Shh

And so she woke up
Woke up from where she was
Lying still
Said I
Gotta do something
About where I’m going

Step on a steam train
Step out of the driving rain, maybe
Run from the darkness
In the night

Singing ha, ha-la-la-la-de-day
Ha-la-la-la-de-day
Ha-la-la-de-day-hey
Mmm-hmm

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
And I floated out of here

Singing…ha-la-la-la-de-day
Ha-la-la-la-de-day, ha–la-la-de-day-hey
Ha-la-la-de-day-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey
Ooo-hoo
Ooo-ooo-hoo

She runs through the streets
With her eyes painted red
Under a black belly of cloud in the rain
In through a doorway
She brings to me
White gold and pearls stolen from the sea
She is raging
She is raging
And a storm blows up in her eye

She will
Suffer the needle chill
She’s running to stand…
Still
