So this is life  are you satisfied  you sacrificed your soul for pride  you life on the edge  just waiting to die sometimes its like your not alive    its kinda like your not there  blank expressions  empty stares  all is gone, that was once there  i cant belive this it's not fair    *chorus*  hey i think i would like to stop  the world and rest a little  hey i feel like i'd like to start things over    stop the world    *chorus*    i've been dancing w/ the devil  the dark music and the melodies are simple  how could i ever forget the way she moves-in tempo    stop the world  stop the world  stop the world and rest a little
