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

From the poison stream, then I floated, out of here

She runs through the streets with eyes painted red
G G
Under a black belly of clouds in the rain
D D
in through a doorway, she brings me
G G
white gold and pearls stolen from the sea
D D G G
she is raging she is raging and storm blows up in her eyes

(n/c)
She will,
A A C/G C/G G G A A
suffer the needle chill,
C/G C/G G G D D
She's running to stand, still.

D D G G ..... (to fade)

About this song: Running To Stand Still

"Running to Stand Still" is the fifth track from U2's 1987 album, The Joshua Tree. It is a soft, slow, piano-based song about a heroin-addicted woman from the Ballymun Seven Towers area of Dublin, shown in the lyric "I see seven towers/But I only see one way out." The woman's addiction is reflected in lines such as "She runs through the streets/With her eyes painted red" and "She will suffer the needle chill." Bono's lyrics evoke helplessness and frustration: "You've got to cry without weeping, talk without speaking, scream without raising your voice."
