So she woke up, woke up from where she was, lyin' still
Said "I, I gotta do somethin' about where we're goin'"
Stepped on steam train
Stepped 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,
Ah-la-la-la-de-day
Ah-la-la-la-de-day
Ah-la-la-de-day
Interlude/Bridge:
Oooooooooooo, Ooo Ooo Ooo Oooooo
Oooooooooooo, Ooo Ooo Ooo Oooooo
She runs through the streets with eyes painted red
Under a black belly of clouds in the rain
in through a doorway, she brings me
white gold and pearls stolen from the sea
she is raging she is raging and storm blows up in her eyes
Ending Chorus:
She will,
suffer the needle chill,
She's running to stand, still.
Harmonica Riff played over D and G chord progression to end song.
