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

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 ? hill
Hide me in the old crow black night
Hide me ?
I was ?


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
