Stay Awhile
Clock's marching at the double time-Every dollar has become a dime.Hearts breaking at the speed of sound,Falling down, all around. (Oh oh-)Bombs lighting up the eastern sky-The backroom deals and the bottom lines.The earth's shaking but we don't know why-A million fires, oceans rise, oh oh-
I leave it all when I feel you near-What I'm saying is I need you here.Even though love never seems to last,If you think we got a chance-
Stay awhile, oh, you've got to stay awhile. (Oh oh-)These days are wild, so baby won't you stay awhile? (Oh oh-)
Drop a needle on the Belle Brigade-We'll slow dance 'til the moonlight fades.Tell me now that you'll never leave,Always stay here with me. (Oh oh-)Keep me safe from the circus show-The bullshit and the blowing smoke.The knife hidden under every sleeve-Stab your back, watch you bleed. (Oh oh-)
They're gonna tell you what you want to hear,Like, "I can make you a star next year,"Well, if New York City's lights are so bright,How come so many people crying tonight?
Stay awhile, oh, you've got to stay awhile. (Oh oh-)These days are wild, so baby won't you stay awhile?Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh-Ohh-
Let your hair fall around your face-I would kill just to keep you safe.Put your body next to mine-Just let go and close your eyes.I shiver when I feel your skin-Like a sinner who's been forgiven.Go on baby, shine your light-'Cause no one's gonna find us here tonight.
Stay awhile, oh, you've got to stay awhile. (Oh oh-)These days are wild, so baby won't you stay awhile? (Oh oh-)Stay awhile, oh, you've got to stay awhile. (Oh oh-)These days are wild; baby won't you stay awhile?Stay awhile, oh, you've got to stay awhile. (Oh oh-)These days are wild; baby won't you stay awhile? Yeah. (Oh oh-)
