A short walk through the dark down to Broadway Think I'll choose my room And watch these figures bend through the glass to the hall way Some shapes sown to the wall by the moon Watch them dance and see them spin A fast break in the silence is louder When you're out of tune This floor won't go silent with out you It will let some new band swing through And they will dance and they will sing Sitting still it can kill you, but run and you'll lose your head Its like keeping time for the clock, its a cheap trick for idle hands You can watch it dance and you can let it spin Sitting still it can kill you, but run and you'll lose your head Its like keeping time for the clock, its a cheap trick for idle hands This storm can blow in I have my plane in the air and it's learning Time is at most just a tailwind you can watch it dance you can let it spin He will cry, "had the doors not been locked" And if not for his geography He would fly to the peaks of these mountain tops But for now he sells cars to the streets He can dance and he can spin Sitting still it can kill you, but run and you'll lose your head Its like keeping time for the clock, its a cheap trick for idle hands You can watch it dance you can let it spin Break the dam let the water in Have the cat count its lives again
