lyrics

Concrete legs will keep my body straight
But I won’t move no I can’t pull the weight
Wind will blow and rain shoot to the ground
But I’ll be standing strong enough to drown

And when the water’s up to my neck
I’ll take a tripping step

Cause I’m running at the speed of standing still
Gaining no ground and never will
I’m standing still

Stop me from saying all that’s in my brain
But I won’t kick the habit I’ll never change
Or send me to the direct opposite of the globe
My complaining will be sent by gossip to your home

And it’ll all come from me
I’ve got too much time to speak

And I’m running at the speed of standing still
Gaining no ground and never will
I’m standing still
And concrete legs are weighing me down
Everybody can go around
Cause I’m standing still

Send for the sledgehammer knock away until it breaks
For the love of what’s good, for heaven sake
I’m running in place
I’m running in place

And I’m running at the speed of standing still
Gaining no ground and never will
I’m standing still
And concrete legs are weighing me down
Everybody can go around
Cause I’m standing still
