Run off...run off...run off from the stream... Run off...run off...run off into the stream; Water rolls over me. Run off...run off...run off through that screen... Stop that; They're pokin' fun at all the words that you write... I stayed up all night. I put the easel by the window so i could see you; I put the gla** of water up to my mouth so I could swallow. The water rolls endlessly. Stop that; They're pokin' fun at all the words that you write... I stayed up all night. I set up a still life; Still life moves around me.
I set up a still life... Still life... Still life moves around me. Well the way that water's flowin'... Gives the illusion that everything goes on...and on... Well it don't. And I know you're disappointed... Well this heart was a stone, this heart was turnin' cold... Well you put a paintbrush in my hand, and water breaks through the dam; And this stone is collectin' moss. And I'm turnin' soft; So run off... Stop that; They're pokin' fun at all the words that we write... Stayin' up all night.
