I Want the World to Stop

I want the world to stop (I want the world to stop)

Give me the morning (Give me the understanding)

I want the world to stop (I want the world to stop)

Give me the morning, give me the afternoon

The night, the nightLet me step out of my shell

That's wrapped in sheets of milky winter disorder

Let me feel the air again, the talk of friends

The mind of someone my equalI want the world to stop (I want the world to stop)

Give me the morning (Give me the understanding)

I want the world to stop (I want the world to stop)

Give me the morning, give me the afternoon

The night, the nightTinseltown has followed me from Tinseltown to

Grey adorable city by the docks

Girls will walk in moving air

The sun hangs low, the girls don't care

As they paint themselves at duskI want the world to stop (I want the world to stop)

Give me the morning, give me the afternoon

The night, the nightTowns' and cities' populations up and grow

The workers move to the suburbs

In between I watch and go

I run alongside rush hour traffic

A prayer for every carI want the world to stop (I want the world to stop)

Give me the morning (Give me the understanding)

I want the world to stop (I want the world to stop)

Give me the morning, give me the afternoonI want the world to stop (I want the world to stop)

Give me the morning (Give me the understanding)

I want the world to stop (I want the world to stop)

Give me the morning, give me the afternoon

The night, the nightI want to write a message to you

Every day at ten o'clock in the evening

Yellow pearl my city is

This is your art

This is your Balzac, your Brookside, and your Bach
