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 love 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 it bleed. (oh oh-) They come to 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. Come 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-)
