Stop stop stop    (midi)

 

      D

1. See the girl with cymbals on her fingers, entering through the door.

    Ruby glistening from her navel, shimmering around the floor.

    Bells on feet go ting-a-ling-linging, going through my head.

    Sweat is falling just-a like tear drops, running from her head.  ~

 

      D

2. Now she’s dancing, going through the movements,

    swaying to and fro.

    Body moving, bringing back a memory, thoughts of long ago.

    Blood is rushing, temperature is rising, sweating from my brow.

    Like a snake, her body fascinates me, I can’t look away now.

 

   G                                               A

Stop, stop, stop all the dancing, give me time to breathe.

   G                                              A                              - D ~

Stop, stop, stop all the dancing, or I’ll have to leave.

 

      D

3. Now she’s moving all around the tables, luring all in sight.

    but I know that she cannot see me, hidden by the light.

    Closer, closer, she is getting nearer, soon she’ll be in reach,

    As I enter into a spotlight, she stands lost for speech.

 

+ CHORUS   + D ~   D ~~     + CHORUS  

 

      D

4. Now I hold her, people are staring, don’t know what to think,

    and we struggle, knocking over tables, spilling all the drinks.

    Can’t they understand that I want her, happens every week.

    Heavy hand upon my collar, throws me in the street.

 

+ CHORUS    +  D ...
