Waiting For The Big One |
The wine’s all drunk and so am I Here with the hoi-poloi, don’t ask me why |
We’re celebratin’anticipatin’end of the year |
everybody come, everybody here |
— well more or less |
Some already in a mess |
I guess they’re waiting for the big one. |
Wonder why I’m cold. |
How did I get this far? |
Had no money, had no car |
I pray the snow goes, be bad if it settles |
'cos I follow my nose and the dried up rose petals |
— like the man says, |
Sure hope Moses knows his roses |
Or we’ll all be waiting for the big one. |
Once I was the credit to my credit card |
spent what I hadn’t got, wasn’t hard |
No trust in judgement no trust in money |
Someday I’ll find myself like a bee finding honey |
But in the meantime |
I’m gonna have me some fun |
Waiting for the big one. |
One too many, where ego I go too |
Looking for the real thing |
It don’t come from what I do No real communication moves out of my face |
I’m beginning to think I’m just out of place |
Won’t get in too deep, I want to get some sleep |
To be ready for the big one |
To be ready for the big one |
