Verse 1

So she woke up, woke up from where she was, lyin' still
Said "I, I gotta do somethin' about where we're goin'"
Step on a steam train
Step out of the driving rain, maybe
Run from the darkness, in the night

Chorus

Singing
Ah,
Ah-la-la-la-de-day
Ah-la-la-la-de-day
Ah-la-la-de-day 

Verse 2

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

Chorus 2

Singing
...
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

Verse 3

She runs through the streets with eyes painted red
Under a black belly of cloud 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 a 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)
