STOP THE NIGHT,THE NIGHT
MY THOUGHTS GET LOUDER AFTER DARK,
OOH THE LIES,
THE CRAZIES TELL ME THIS MUCH,
AHAA!!
IT`S A SIMPLE ENOUGH TASK BOYS,
TO FIND A LIVING MIRACLE,
BUT THE LIVING AIN`T EASY,
I NEED A SHOT OF MEDICINE.
START THE DAY,THE DAY
MY HEAD DENIES I`M BREATHING,
IT LIKES TO SAY,
AM I HERE OR LEAVING ME?
THERE`S A WANT I ASK ALL THE TIME,
POSSESSION OF MY RIGHT MIND,
YOU`RE NOT DEAF BUT I STILL HAVE TO SHOUT,
WATCH OUT THERE`S LOTS A THEIVES ABOUT!
ALONG ALONG THE WAY,
I STAND BESIDE MYSELF,
AND LOOK AT ALL MY WORLD,
NO NEED TO TELL ME.
I SEE DEAD MEN PLAYING,
I HEAR CRIES FROM MANY,
I HEAR TEARS AND THEN SOME,
I HEAR HOPE I`M HOPING.
I`M CAUGHT WITH ALL THE SHUTTERS DOWN,
WHO`S LOOKING THROUGH MY WINDOW?
I HAD TO CLOSE THE SADDEST EYES.
YOU`VE GOT TO BE A WINNER,
YOU`VE GOT TO BE COOL,
YOU`VE GOT TO BE A WINNER,
YOU`VE GOT TO BE COOL,
I SEE ME INSIDE YOU,
I HEAR FEAR AND THEN SOME,
I SEE CHILDREN PLAYING,
I SEE HOPE I`M HOPING,
FAR AWAY--WAY,
I HEAR A MEMORY CALLING ME,
I`D LIKE TO STAY,
BUT MY OBSESSION WANTS TO PLAY.
