Stop Dead Lyrics by The Cure

Standing on a Beach (The Singles)

1985

[Verse 1]
Let me forget, let me forget
Or let me go, let me go
I'll keep it quiet as a whisper
I'll keep it low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low

[Chorus 1]
Never, the biggest word I ever heard
S-s-s-stop dead, hey, stop dead
S-s-s-stop dead
You're getting too close, getting too close

[Verse 2]
Before you even opened your eyes
I moved about a million ways
I killed about a million people
And filled about half a day

[Verse 3]
Before you even opened your eyes
You had to have to ask me who
I lo-lo-lo-lo-love it
I mean you

[Verse 1]
Let me forget, let me forget
Or let me go, let me go
I'll keep it quiet as a whisper
I'll keep it low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low

[Chorus]
Never, the biggest word I ever heard
S-s-s-stop dead, hey, stop dead
S-s-s-stop dead
You're getting too close, getting too close

[Bridge]
My face was in your hands
You looked into my eyes
You said I tasted right
And swallowed me alive
My face was in your hands
You looked into my eyes
You said I tasted right
And swallowed me alive
Hey, hey, hey

[Outro]
Hey, hey, hey
I stay that that you are, hey
Stay that that you are
Stay that that you are, he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-hey
