[Verse 1]
Down with disease, three weeks in my bed
Tryin' to stop these demons that keep
Dancin' in my head
Down with disease and I'm up before the dawn
A thousand barefoot children outside
Dancin' on my lawn

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Dancin' on my lawn and I keep

[Chorus]
Waiting for the time when I can finally say
That 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

[Post-Chorus]
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop

[Verse 2]
Down with disease and the jungles in my mind
They’re climbin' up my waterfalls and
Swingin’ on my vines
So I try to hear the music but I’m always losing time
‘Cause they’re stepping on my rhythm and they’re
Stealin’ all my lines

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Stealin’ all my lines and I keep

[Chorus]
Waiting for the time when I can finally say
That this has all been wonderful, but now I’m on my way-hey
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

[Post-Chorus]
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
Waiting for the time when I can finally say
That 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

[Outro]
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
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop (Na na na na, nananana)
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop (Na na na na, nananana)
(Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop) That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way
(Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop) (Na na na na, nananana) Waiting for the time when I can finally say
(Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop) That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way
(Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop) (Na na na na, nananana) Waiting for the time when I can finally say
(Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop) That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way
