Standing Still

I got big ideas, got some theories, got some stories to tell
Been working hard day and night for weeks with nowhere to sell
Plenty of time to ease in until I get my fill

Best not make any plans while the earth stands still

I used to wake up early and get while the getting was good
I never turned down a good time even when I should
Never just sat and stared out from the window sill

Best not make any plans while the earth stands still

Now I try to smile and stand up straight
I go to bed early and I wake up late
Plenty of reasons not to take any chances
'Cause it's easy to pretend and live in a fantasy

I ain't backing down but I might be packing it in
Don't let nobody tell you how you living your life is a sin
You can't run out of breath when you're rolling down hill

Best not make any plans while the earth stands still

In the end everybody tells me it'll be the same
Oh, all around, up and down, racing like a big jet plane
I guess I believe it but I'm not holding my breath until

Best not make any plans while the earth stands still

'Cause you can't run out of breath when you're rolling down hill

Best not make any plans while the earth stands still

Oh while the earth stands still
Oh while the earth stands still
Oh while the earth stands still
Oh while the earth stands still
Oh while the earth stands still
Oh while the earth stands still
Oh while the earth stands still
Oh while the earth stands still
