U2 - Running to Stand Still Lyrics

And so she woke up
She woke up from where she was lying still
Said, "I, I gotta do something
About where I'm going"

Step on a steam train
Step out of the driving rain maybe
And 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 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, "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 to 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 is running to stand
Still

Still running, still running, still running
Still running, still running, still running
