Todd Rundgren
Standing Still
[Verse 1]
I was in one of my dreams where
I don't spare any color
I was in one of my dreams when I felt alive
Then every once in a while I'd say to you
Every once in a while I'd say to you
This is so beautifully furnished
This is so beautifully scripted
I see these memories now on a screen
And the music innocent as a bird song
Music innocent as a bird song

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I suspended all concern for health
I suspended all reasons to answer for myself
And all of what appeared unreal
Was all of what you cannot feel

[Chorus]
Now I want to hide, I want to dig in deep
Pull over me that hot cape of sleep
So every hour I never filled
Can't turn and leave me standing still
I want to be working now
Don't leave me standing still
I want to be working now
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
How long do you keep your nerves from
Close to the surface
How long till the comedy knocks you in your head
The stiff motivation of the drilling school
The stiff motivation that comes with rules

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Is everywhere and all at once
The infection makes it easy for you to succumb
And through change of fate that change assumes
You can forget the names but not the wounds

[Chorus]
Now I'm gonna hide, I want to dig in deep
Pull over me that hot cape of sleep so
Every hour I never filled
Can't turn and leave me standing still
I want to be working now
Don't leave me standing still
I want to be working now
Don't leave me standing still
I want to be working now
Don't leave me standing still
I want to be work
I want to be working now
