“There is a legend about a bird which sings just once in its life, more sweetly than any other creature on the face of the earth. From the moment it leaves the nest it searches for a Thorn Tree and does not rest until it has found one. Then, singing among the savage branches, it impales itself upon the longest, sharpest spine. Dying, it rises above its own agony to out carol the lark and the nightingale. One superlative song, existence the price. But the whole world stills to listen, and God in his heaven smiles. For the best is only bought at the cost of great pain.” ~ The Thorn Birds
Stop the world, I wanna get off. I can't sleep. This place's too brave for me. Living in a dream, it just ain't right for me I can't see: these lights are blinding me. Everybody's eyes are on the prize for me. I can't be myself here, feels so unfamiliar. I don't wanna break here, where everybody breaks. Oh, I don't know no more. It's only just beginning, and I can't stand the spin. Stop the world, I wanna get off. Dizzy, as it's making me think I've had enough. Stop the world, I wanna get off. It's broken me so much, I don't know how I've done, no. I can't eat: everything is poisoned in chemicals colliding and exposing me. I can't find no piece surrounding me I reach beneath the teeth for something grounding me. Been taking for a ride, no stars left in my eyes. I don't wanna break here, where everybody breaks. No, no, no - just don't know no more. It's only just beginning and I can't stand the spin. Stop the world, I wanna get off. Dizzy as it's making me, I think I've had enough. So stop the world, I wanna get off. It's broken me so much, I don't know where I wind up or falling. I'm free falling, God knows walls can’t hold me here. Calling, here it calling. I don't care, no. I don't care. Stop the world, I wanna get off. Dizzy as it's making me, I think I've had enough. So stop the world, I wanna get off. It's broken me so much I don't care where I wind up. Stop the world. Just stop the world. Stop the world.

Stop the world, I wanna get off.
I can't sleep.
This place's too brave for me.
Living in a dream, it just ain't right for me
I can't see: these lights are blinding me.
Everybody's eyes are on the prize for me.
I can't be myself here, feels so unfamiliar.
I don't wanna break here, where everybody breaks.
Oh, I don't know no more.
It's only just beginning, and I can't stand the spin.
Stop the world, I wanna get off.
Dizzy, as it's making me think I've had enough.
Stop the world, I wanna get off.
It's broken me so much,
I don't know how I've done, no.
I can't eat:
everything is poisoned in chemicals colliding and exposing me.
I can't find no piece surrounding me
I reach beneath the teeth for something grounding me.
Been taking for a ride,
no stars left in my eyes.
I don't wanna break here, where everybody breaks.
No, no, no - just don't know no more.
It's only just beginning and I can't stand the spin.
Stop the world, I wanna get off.
Dizzy as it's making me, I think I've had enough.
So stop the world, I wanna get off.
It's broken me so much, I don't know where I wind up or falling.
I'm free falling, God knows walls can’t hold me here.
Calling, here it calling.
I don't care, no.
I don't care.
Stop the world, I wanna get off.
Dizzy as it's making me, I think I've had enough.
So stop the world, I wanna get off.
It's broken me so much I don't care where I wind up.
Stop the world.
Just stop the world.
Stop the world.
