Lyrics: Sam Phillips. Standing Still.

In the middle of the night I'm growing secrets
Holding the choice in my hand, my beating heart
Some see an end, I see a way out
Starting with ashes I'm building fire

We've danced a long time
We've danced too long
Out on the floor I'm thinking, I'm standing still
Ooh, I'm standing still, I'm standing still

I want them to think I'm dead
Turn off the noises that drug my brain and make me buy
Fashion is out of fashion
Broken TV listens to the wind

We've danced a long time
We've danced too long
Out on the floor I'm thinking, I'm standing still
Ooh, I'm standing still, I'm standing still

When I turn to look they're making sex
Carry obsession to market, I'm so confused
I'm burning in the shadows
You're the only fire made to match

We've danced a long time
We've danced too long
Out on the floor I'm thinking, I'm standing still
Ooh, I'm standing still, I'm standing still

Ooh I'm standing still
I'm standing still, ooh I'm standing still
I'm standing still

Ooh, I'm standing still, I'm standing still
Ooh I'm standing still
I'm standing still, ooh I'm standing still

Sam Phillips
