"Running To Stand Still" lyrics - ELBOW

And so she woke up
Woke up from where she was lying still
Said I gotta do something
'Bout 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
Ah 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've 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
Ah la la la de day
Ah la la la de day
Ah la la de day

She roams 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 raging
She is raging
And the storm blows up in her eyes
She will suffer the needle chill
She's running to stand still
