Get Out Of The Way - Daryl Hall

Look at the water

There’s a storm that is raging

Like some biblical tide

That will sweep us away

All the good times gone so wrong

Tender years are flying

Run from the fire

That some idiot started

Cause he believed that the burning

Would be good for the temple

All the good men gone so wrong

Can’t you hear them lying?

What do you do

When history stops in it’s tracks

There’s a meaning

But I don’t know what it is

There’s a leaning

But I don’t know which way it’s falling

All I can do is try

To get out of the way

Grasp at emotions

That I stretch to the limits

Cause I shout out denial

In the face of disaster

All the good times gone so wrong

Tender years are dying

What do you do

When history stops in it’s tracks

There’s a meaning

But I don’t know what it is

There’s a leaning

But I don’t know which way it’s falling

All I can do is try

To get out of the way

So uneasy

But I got no way of knowing

Hurricane coming

But I don’t know which way it’s blowing

So get out of the way

All I can do is try

Wait for the tide to rise

But change of the seasons

Don’t mean reason’s winning out

What do you do

When history stops in it’s tracks

There’s a meaning

But I don’t know what it is

There’s a leaning

But I don’t know which way it’s falling

All I can do is try

Try to get out of the way

All I can do is try

To get out of the way
