Standstill

We’ve got all the time there is
We’ve got nothing left to do
Cause we reached a point in life
Where all movement is untrue
Since we know it we don’t move
We just sit and contemplate
All the unimportant gestures, life in vain
All the unimportant gestures, life in vain

I have felt much more than you
Though I sit here and you move
But your paths are leading nowhere
And they’re old
While I know my way is new
And while I don’t move
The road is riding me around again
The road is riding me around again

We’ve got memories hanging like a portrait
On a blood-stained gritty wall
We’ve got thoughts dusted in an ashtray
We are burnt by home-made alcohol

We’ve got coke instead of dreams
And not so far away
There are women dancing naked
With acid in their hair
While we sit and watch the sun
It don’t travel round the sky
It’s just looking down on us, steady shine
It’s just looking down on us, steady shine

Says I’ve got memories hanging like a portrait
From all the vaults of human history
But I’ve never seen such stationary people
Well it makes me wanna stop there too and see
And I might stop moving for eternity
