Lyrics
Stop the Stalling
Music & Lyrics: John Torres
Paralyzed by circumstance,
Who's walking all alone.
One word from the surgeon,
And we'll cut down to the bone.
These days are a maze of thought,
A reflection of the years.
But whose words are you speaking now,
Are those even your own tears?
Never seen a flower,
Never felt the rain,
Sleeping off the hours,
In our average way.
Never seen the music,
Never touch the sky,
Happy in remission,
Leave us here to die.
What time does the market close?
Which way to catch the train?
And how fast can you make a wish?
Whose turn to face the blame?
Next week, it's your lucky break,
You're gonna teach them how to smile.
We’ll hold hands at the liquor store,
And you’ll practice self-denial.
Stop the stalling, hold your ground.
Keep your head up, turn around.
And I could never touch you,
Never speak your name,
But I’d still be standing outside,
In the cold all alone in the pouring rain.
It's a beautiful emotion,
When we run from the people we need.
But when the cage falls down and you hear that sound,
That's just the creature that we feed.
Million things to remember,
How many we forget.
Stop short of self-pity;
No, I haven’t lost that yet.
Your words or philosophy
Keep on keeping me keeping on.
So, think twice when they ask you
If you still believe you’ve won.
Stop the stalling,
Hold your ground,
Keep your head up, turn around.
And I could never touch you,
Never speak your name,
And I’d still be standing outside,
In the cold all alone in the pouring rain.
