Lyrics Heaven 17 – Don’t Stop For No One
Text:
Don’t stop for no one
And then it goes on
x3
One day my father said to me
‘It’s time for you to leave,
But don’t wait for me, it’s pre-destiny’
Don’t wait around for someone to believe in
You know, history don’t stop for no one
Just like Moses waiting on the mountain
You know, history don’t stop for no one
Don’t hang around in Babylonian Gardens
You know, history don’t stop for no one
The pyramids are just a tourist attraction
You know, history don’t stop for no one
But don’t wait for me, it’s pre-destiny’
Don’t wait around for someone to believe in
You know, history don’t stop for no one
Just like Moses waiting on the mountain
You know, history don’t stop for no one
Don’t hang around in Babylonian Gardens
You know, history don’t stop for no one
The pyramids are just a tourist attraction
You know, history don’t stop for no one
Don’t stop for no one
And then it goes on
x2
Sometimes I told I must confess
To a life of tenderness
But I just repeat what he said to me:
‘Don’t close your eyes ’cause seeing is believing’
You know, history don’t stop for no one
Just like a child, fighting for a meaning
You know, history don’t stop for no one
Don’t dream too long, it’s time to awake now
You know, history don’t stop for no one
Like sleeping beauty waiting for a kiss now
You know, history don’t stop for no one
I think you know the way it’s gonna go now
You know, history don’t stop for no one
From Aztech kings to New York queens
And then it goes on
