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 night
Let 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 equal
I want the world to stop . . .
Tinseltown has followed me from Tinseltown to
Grey adorable city by the docks
I want the world to stop . . .
Towns' and cities' populations up and grow
The workers move to the suburbs
I want the world to stop . . .
I want to write a message to you
Every day at ten o'clock in the evening
