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

Chorus:
Singing
A
Ah,
          C     G
Ah-la-la-la-de-day
A         C     G
Ah-la-la-la-de-day
       D       G
Ah-la-la-de-day

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

She runs through the streets
With her eyes painted red
Under a black belly of cloud in the rain
In through a doorway
She brings me white golden pearls
Stolen from the sea
She is ragin', she is raging
And the storm blows up in her eyes

Chorus:
She will,
A            C      G   A
suffer the needle chill,
                   C   G  D
She's running to stand, still.
