Well I've got all these thoughts Turning in my head, I have to write it all down, Trying to keep my head above the water, Stuck in a one horse town. I know I've got something but I can't put my finger on it. But everytime I think about it, It disappears. Stop the world, cause this is where I get off. Well you can all carry on, But just stop the world. Well I can feel myself, Tumbling and fall, But I can get back up on my feet, 'Cause I got something I'd like to show you all. I know I've got something but I can't put my finger on it. But everytime I think about it, It disappears. Stop the world, 'Cause this is where I get off. Well you can all carry on, someone please stop the world. So c'mon stop the world, cause this is where I get off, Well you can all carry on, but just stop the world. Stop. Stop.
