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 |
