Soul Asylum ''Standing Water'' [The Silver Lining - 2006] video free download

...Down from the mountain

Running wild through the trees

A crystal glimmer

Rolling along so effortlessly

Trickled down from the country

But the city sucked it in and spit it out

Now the gravity pulls you

Through the curbside now as it's getting light

And it's too soon, too fast

And that ain't ever gonna last

Standing water

Standing too close to the sun

With your rainbow runoff

You're like a sitting duck waiting for the summer rain to come

I was a lowlife in the highlands

I was barely living up to standards and demands

I had? I had run out of reasons

To let myself believe in anything

I wanted to phone home so many times

But I've never given in, you know dreams never die

Woke up in a cold sweat

I was breathing still, my heart wasn't open yet

Dried out by the hot sun

There's never anywhere to run

It's like standing water

Standing too close to the sun

With your rainbow runoff

You're like a sitting duck waiting for the summer rain to come

Where there? there once was a country

With champagne rivers running wide

There was free land flying

Out the door in the middle of the night

And they were pushing every button

They were paving their way to the blight

They were breaking laws that they had made themselves

Dictating what's wrong and what's right

So proud, so strong

But that don't mean you're never wrong

It's like standing water

Standing too close to the sun

With your rainbow runoff

You're like a sitting duck waiting for the summer rain to come

Standing water

Standing too close to the sun

With your rainbow runoff

You're like a sitting duck waiting for the summer rain to come

Like a sitting duck waiting for the summer rain to come...
