Song Lyrics

"Standing Still"

by Sam (Leslie) Phillips
Album: Cruel Inventions

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,
(fade)
