Standing Still Lyrics by Tea Leaf Green

Raise Up the Tent

2008

The time's in decline
Standing in line
Highway's abandoned
My mind is expanding
Heaven and Earth
Are out of communion
Days are numbered
And filled with confusion
Dark powers within
Light powers without
History's tricks
Won't fool me now
What's it gonna take
To get home in one piece
We won't get there standing still
What's it gonna take
If all the world is sleeping
A storm in the distance
Gives us resistance
The wind is insistent
We should get gone
Light is declining
The highway's inviting
The coyote's crying
And the dog gets a bone
Dark powers within
Light powers without
The sun sees your sin
And the moon hears you out
What's it gonna take
To get home in one piece
We won't get there standing still
What's it gonna take
If all the world is dreaming
A man from the east
Is riding a beast
He sells honeybees
Of honey, he speaks
Offers a ride
On the back of his wagon
His wagon's alive
And it purrs like a dragon
Dark powers within
Light powers without
One sting and you're dead
Or living without
What's it gonna take
To get home in one piece
We won't get there standing still
What's it gonna take
If all the world is sleeping
I am still standing... still
I am still standing... still
I am still standing... still
I am still standing... still
I am still standing... still
I am still standing... still
Dark power within
Light power without
Your funeral friends
Are bringing me down
Dark power within
Light power without
The sun sees your sin
And the moon is your out
I am still standing still
I am still standing still
Dark power within
Light power without
History's tricks
Won't fool me now
Dark power within
Light power without
One sting and you're dead
Or you're living without
I am still standing... still
I am still standing... still
Dark power within
Light power without
Your funeral friends
Are bringing me down
Dark power within
Light power without
The sun sees your sin
And the moon is your out
I am still standing still
I am still standing still
I am still standing still
I am still standing still
