Look at that cloud hang up off the lookout hills That's where my head is and I keep banging my shins
There's another world Above this one That's where I've trying to live But I get dragged down
There's another world Better than this one And that's where I've trying to live But I get dragged down
Stand still Stand still Can we just stand still
Stand still Come on, Stand still No no no no stand still
This whole town is All the buildings there are blocking sun and blocking sun I know it's you who's rushing to the light With their open mouths and appetites They ate the ground and now the sky They roll it out like pigeon wire
Can't they just stand still Stand still Stand still Can't they just stand still Stand still Stand still Can't we just stand still
So we packed our bags and headed west She said I know a place where they can't get, where they can't get us She slid my tired fingers into hers And it was sunlight touching every curve, every scar And this will be the moment that breaks my heart Where the time creeps in and we grow apart
Can we just stand still Stand still Can we just stand still
Stand still Let our lungs fill Can we just stand still
That's what I'm talking about Her sneakered feet hardly hitting the ground Thoughts like a rush hour downtown You're either sticking or pump-pumping 'em out Drop me in the dark green Lock me in the midst of the southeast hill Hide me in the old crow black night Hide me from the masochistic marking of time I will stand like a mountain I will stand like a tuckamore stuck in the wind
Listen to the drum of the gulf go Listen to the drumming it's so slow Listen to the drum of the gulf go Listen to the drumming it's so slow Listen to the drum of the gulf go Listen to the drum of the gulf going stand still
