Get Out Of The Way Lyrics


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 its 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 its 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 its 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

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
His mother played songs by Frank Sinatra to him as a child, and he later became a fan of Motown and other R&B/soul music. He took piano lessons as a child, but he did not like them. He would skip the lessons and ride his bicycle across the bridge from his grandfather's farm over to the heart of the black "Chicken Hill" ghetto, where he could just listen and absorb the music.

In the 1960s, Hall attended Temple University, but did not graduate, preferring instead to spend his time singing on the street corners and play with various musicians and groups. At that time, Daryl Hohl (as he was called then) sang backup for different bands. He eventually changed his last name to Hall. Daryl Hall idolized the Temptations and began to perform session work as a singer. He first met John Oates at a band competition.

After John transferred to a different school, Daryl joined the band Gulliver, which released one eponymous album in 1969 before being dropped from their label.

Daryl is the host of the wildly popular online show entitled "Live From Daryl's House", where Daryl and the band collaborate with artists from various musical genres on the 15th of each month. The first episode aired in 2007, and it's still going strong. Best of all, it's free to watch.
