Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Down with disease, three weeks in my bed

Tryin' to stop these demons that keep

Dancin' in my head

[Verse 2]

Down with disease and I'm up before the dawn

A thousand barefoot children outside

Dancin' on my lawn

Dancin' on my lawn

[Verse 3]

Waitin' for the time when I can finally say

"This has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way"

When I think it's time to leave it all behind

I try to find a way to, but there's nothing I can say to make it stop

(Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop)

(Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop)

[Verse 4]

Down with disease and the jungles in my mind

Their climbin' up my waterfalls and

Swingin' on my vines

[Verse 5]

So I try to hear the music but I'm always losin' time

'Cause their steppin' on my rhythm and their

Stealin' all my lines

Stealin' all my lines

[Verse 6]

Waitin' for the time when I can finally say

"This has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way"

When I think it's time to leave it all behind

I try to find a way to, but there's nothing I can say to make it stop

(Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop)

(Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop)

[Verse 7]

Waitin' for the time when I can finally say

"This has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way"

But when I think it's time to leave it all behind

I try to find a way to, but there's nothing I can say to make it stop

(Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop)

(Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop)

[Verse 8]

(Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop)

(Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop)

(Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop)

(Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop)

Oh, no, no, no-no-no (Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop)

(Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop)

Oh, no, no, no-no-no (Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop)

"This has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way"

(Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop)

Waitin' for the time when I can finally say

(Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop)

"This has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way"

(Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop)

Waitin' for the time when I can finally say (Na, na, na, na, na-na-na)

"This has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way"

(Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop)
