Lyrics
Stop The World
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.
All the world's a masquerade
Made up of fools and philosophers
Were it to rain on our charade
Washes away except for true colors
If any people bothered
Looking for truth, please
Stop the world from spinning 'round
Instead we choose to follow
Footsteps of fools, please
Stop the world from spinning 'round
If nothing's new under the sun
For me and you
Won't somebody please
Stop the world
Stop the world
I wanna get off
Stop the world
Stop the world
I wanna get off
If we forget yesterday
We're bound to repeat it tomorrow
It's not too late to start today
Better off safe than sorry
Do unto those as you would
Do to yourselves, please
Stop the world from spinning 'round
We need more feet to walk
In one another's shoes, please
Stop the world from spinning 'round
There's nothing new under the sun
For me and you
Won't somebody please
Stop the world
Stop the world
I wanna get off
Stop the world
Stop the world
Where there is love
