Lyrics
Stay (Oingo Boingo)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This is not the first time
You tried to get away
This is not a party
Where people know your name
This is not a classroom
With teacher at the board
This is not a catshow
With prizes at the door
(Chorus)
Go
Don't you go
Won't you stay with me one more day
If we get through one more night
If we get through one more night
This is not a horse race
Where winners beat the time
This is not a funeral
With mourners in a line
This is not a sitcom
Where everything's alright
This is not a prison
With terror through the night.
Chorus
