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
