[Verse 1]
Fall to your knees and kiss the ring
The crowds rejoice in
All of my dreams
Wake up to despise a world I once loved
Why would you bring me in
If you knew what you'd become?
So curse everyone and everything
Even the sun

[Chorus]
Stall me, stall me, I'm all in
Stall me, call me up or break me in
A dark room in the wallflower garden of the party
She's got four on the floor, she's waiting to kickstart me
So just stall me

[Verse 2]
I had a rosy dream
You gave up on you and I gave up on me
Well, love came along and said
"Leave them be" (Ah-oh-oh-oh...)
We were wrecked on every rock, you tasted
Like cork, my pretty little angel
I'm singing to empty bottles everywhere
Everywhere

[Chorus]
Stall me, stall me, I'm all in
Stall me, call me up or break me in
A dark room in the wallflower garden of the party
She's got four on the floor, she's waiting to kickstart me
So just stall me!

[Bridge]
She counts on stars, astrology
My moods are mercurial, but I'm no mercury
Don't hold your breath
Baptized in the river of you
Hold on death
The moon's just a sliver of you

[Chorus]
Stall me, stall me, I'm all in
Stall me, call me up or break me in
A dark room in the wallflower garden of the party
Stall me, stall me, I'm all in
Stall me, call me up or break me in
A dark room in the wallflower garden of the party
She's got four on the floor, she's waiting to kickstart me
She says she's got more
Where that came from to spark me
So just stall me! Whoo!

Named after a line from Name Taken’s “Panic,” Panic! at the Disco was formed by drummer Spencer Smith, bassist Brent Wilson, guitarist Ryan Ross, and vocalist Brendon Urie, and founded in 2004 in Las Vegas, Nevada. While crafting pop-influenced songs with theatrical themes, quirky techno beats, and perceptive lyrics, they received some much-deserved attention.

They became the first group signed on Pete Wentz’s (bassist in Fall Out Boy) record label, Decaydance Records (now DCD2 Records). Their hit song that started it all, “I Write Sins Not Tragedies,” remains one of their top two top forty songs along with “Hallelujah.”

They have released six studio A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out, Pretty. Odd., Vices & Virtues, Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die!, Death of a Bachelor, and now their most recent album Pray for the Wicked. These last two albums were actually solo projects from Brendon Urie, since all the other members of the band had already left the group before their release dates; in 2006, bassist Brent Wilson was fired due to his “lack of responsibility and the fact that he wasn’t progressing musically with the band.” And in 2009, guitarist Ryan Ross and bassist Jon Walker left the band to “embark on a musical excursion of their own,” forming The Young Veins. Dallon Weekes, who joined the band as a bassist and songwriter in 2009, had become a touring member only by the time Death of a Bachelor was released and later left the band completely in order to focus on his own music. Weekes was replaced by Nicole Row, the first female member of the band.
