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’ve got a chance

Stay awhile

Oh you got to stay awhile (oh oh)

These days are wild

So baby, won't you stay awhile (oh oh)

Drop the needle on the belle brigade

We slow dance till 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 wanna 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 cry tonight?

Stay awhile

Oh you got to stay awhile (oh oh)

These days are wild

So baby, won't you stay awhile

Oh-oh

Oh-oh

Oh-oh

Oh-oh

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 got to stay awhile (oh oh)

These days are wild

So baby, won't you stay awhile, yeah (oh oh)

Stay awhile

Oh you got to stay awhile, oh Lord (oh oh)

These days are wild

So baby, won't you stay awhile (oh oh)

Stay awhile

Oh you got to stay awhile, ooh ooh, oh Lord Lord

These days are wild

So baby, won't you stay awhile, yeah (oh oh)
