Peter Gabriel - Waiting For The Big One Lyrics
The wines all drunk and so am iHere with the hoi-poloi, dont ask me whyWere celebratin anticipatin; end of the yearEverybody come, everybody here-- well more or lessSome already in a messI guess theyre waiting for the big one.Wonder why Im cold. how did I get this far?Had no money, had no carI pray the snow goes, be bad if it settlescos I follow my nose and the dried up rose petals-- like the man says,Sure hope moses knows his rosesOr well all be waiting for the big one.Once I was a credit to my credit cardSpent what I hadnt got, it wasnt hardNo trust in judgements no trust in moneySomeday Ill find myself like a bee finding honeyBut in the meantime, Im gonna have me some funWaiting for the big one.One too many, where ego I go tooLooking for the real thingIt dont come from what I doNo real communication moves out of my faceIm beginning to think Im just out of placeWont get in too deep, I want to get some sleepTo be ready for the big one-- waiting for the big one.
