Elbow - Running to Stand Still lyrics

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 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 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
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 ragin'
She is ragin' and the storm blows up
In her eyes she will suffer the needle chill
She's running to stand still
