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 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-)
