Running to stand still

U2 - „Running to stand still“

And so she woke up

Woke up from where she was lyin′ still

Said I gotta do something

About where we're goin′

 

Step on a steam train

Step out of the driving rain maybe

Run from the darkness in the night

Singing ooh la, ah la la la de day

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

Ah la la la de day

 

She walks through the streets

With her eyes painted red

Under a 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

Done
