Lyrics

Thanks to the big bang
 There's relentless power
 For this rock that spins
 One thousand miles an hour
 I have no choice
 But to ride this cycle
 Around a star
 That makes life much more fatal
 
 Tick tick, my knees in concrete
 Tock tock, my brain shattered by sleet
 
 Stop the world, I want to get off
 They all move but I need to stop
 Stop the world, I want to get off
 They fly by so I cant get on top
 Stop the world, I want to get off
 Their clarity makes mine flop
 Stop the world, I want to get off
 The day I get off is the day I give up
 
 Life ticks along
 And my heart grows heavier
 Gaining a chain
 And a ball per lover
 What if I gave them
 To someone stronger
 Someone who gets off
 By living life faster
 
 Tick tick, my neck in concrete
 Tock tock, my brain all icy
 
 Stop the world, I want to get off
 They all move but I need to stop
 Stop the world, I want to get off
 They fly by so I cant get on top
 Stop the world, I want to get off
 Their clarity makes mine flop
 Stop the world, I want to get off
 The day I get off is the day I give up
 
 Spinning and whirling
 A life worth living
 Turning and twirling
 My life won't stand still
 Spinning and whirling
 Turning and twirling
 Spinning and whirling
 Turning and twirling
 
 Stop the world, I want to get off
 They all move but I need to stop
 Stop the world, I want to get off
 They fly by so I cant get on top
 Stop the world, I want to get off
 Their clarity makes mine flop
 Stop the world, I want to get off
 The day I get off is the day I give up
 
 Stop the world, I want to get off
 They all move but I need to stop
 Stop the world, I want to get off
 They fly by so I cant get on top
 Stop the world, I want to get off
 Their clarity makes mine flop
 Stop the world, I want to get off
 The day I get off is the day I give up
