"Can't Stand Still" lyrics - MIKE GORDON

Try and set your mind to find me
You'll find, baby, and I dart behind some cloth
A rattlesnake hisses behind me
I jump up blindly and run along down the road

I'm just sayin' I can't stand still
When the drums are marching by
And the sun's so bright

You know I can't stand still
When she twirls so wild
Look in her sparkling eye

They came undercover to spy me
But I took my mirror and reflected back their scope
I invented a new way to fly me
To a New England town with charm beyond my hopes

I'm just sayin' I can't stand still
With the find to swing me high
Release and wind, release and wind

No, I can't stand still
When she's closing in behind
And I hold the sky

Yeah, stones
Get thrown when darkness comes in
When I go home
It's faster than your throw

I'm just sayin' I can't stand still
When the wind dried my eye
In pantomime stripe

You know I can't stand still
Like a grounded yellow kite
When the sun's so bright
The sun's so bright

The sun's so bright
The sun's so bright
The sun's so bright
The sun's so bright
