Please be quiet, everyone's asleep
|
Stella's locked her door and she's requested some peace
|
She teaches the English at the American school
|
She teaches imaginary numbers and the golden rule
|
She says it's hard to worry about the future
|
When your past is knocking at your door
|
Sweet mistakes and information
|
Have been her lovers before
|
|
Hello, all you losers
|
You've got nothing to fear
|
This may not be the end of the world
|
But you can see it from here
|
|
She runs the motors and the music
|
On the carousel ride
|
She catches the children on the horses
|
As they fall through the rye
|
It's hard to see the future
|
When your back is bending over your shoes
|
It's hard holding on to nothing
|
When you've got nothing to lose
|
|
Hello, all your losers
|
You've got nothing to fear
|
This may not be the end of the world
|
but you can see it from here
|
|
I guess you heard about Ol' PeeWee
|
We had to tear his playhouse down
|
Then they put him in the electric chair
|
We'll have some fun now
|
|
When you see her, give her some compliments on her looks
|
She'll be wearing a Mardi Gras dress
|
Coming after you with words and books
|
We've given you the best seats in the house
|
So don't be late
|
St. Peter is at the door
|
And he ain't no man to wait
|
|
Hello, all you losers
|
You've got nothing to fear
|
This may not be the end of the world
|
But you can see it from here
|
|
Hello, all you losers
|
You've got nothing to fear
|
This may not be the end of the world
|
But you can see it from here
