Stop Now - Cheap Girls

The kids get drunk, the kids get sad

They start telling stories that they didn’t even know they had

And me?

I always leave early so this is just what I hear

The kids in the back are just up in arms

That saying the same thing won’t get 'em any new reaction

And we just need to stop now

And change our rhythms to match up again

I keep getting all of your letters and they just look good in print

That guy from work — he is a friend of mine

He likes the 5/8 time he likes a 5th a night, it makes him feel alright

And I’d choose murder over heart attack

I can’t take the news, I can’t face the fact that

This is all that I’ve really even ever had

It’s easier to just swim under the bridge

Than to stand right up and walk over it

Then I rolled over and looked straight up

And saw there was no bridge

And that water dried right up

So I think we need to stop now

And change our rhythms to match up again

I keep getting all of your letters and they just look good in print
