[Verse 1]

Down with disease, three weeks in my bed

Tryin' to stop these demons that keep

Dancin' in my head

Down with disease and I'm up before the dawn

A thousand barefoot children outside

Dancin' on my lawn


[Pre-Chorus 1]

Dancin' on my lawn and I keep


[Chorus]

Waiting for the time when I can finally say

That this has all been wonderful, but now I’m on my way

But when I think it’s time to leave it all behind

I try to find a way to, but there’s nothing I can say to make it stop


[Post-Chorus]

Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop

Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop


[Verse 2]

Down with disease and the jungles in my mind

They’re climbin' up my waterfalls and

Swingin’ on my vines

So I try to hear the music but I’m always losing time

‘Cause they’re stepping on my rhythm and they’re

Stealin’ all my lines


[Pre-Chorus 2]

Stealin’ all my lines and I keep


[Chorus]

Waiting for the time when I can finally say

That this has all been wonderful, but now I’m on my way-hey

But when I think it’s time to leave it all behind

I try to find a way to, but there’s nothing I can say to make it stop


[Post-Chorus]

Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop

Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop


[Instrumental Bridge]


[Chorus]

Waiting for the time when I can finally say

That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way

But when I think it's time to leave it all behind

I try to find a way to, but there's nothing I can say to make it stop


[Outro]

Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop

Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop

Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop

Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop

Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop

Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop

Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop (Na na na na, nananana)

Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop (Na na na na, nananana)

(Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop) That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way

(Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop) (Na na na na, nananana) Waiting for the time when I can finally say

(Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop) That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way

(Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop) (Na na na na, nananana) Waiting for the time when I can finally say

(Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop) That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way
