The man from the television crawled into the train.
|
I wonder who he's gonna stick it in this time.
|
Everyone was looking for a little entertainment,
|
so they'll probably pull his hands off
|
when they find out his name.
|
And then they shut down the power all along the line,
|
and we got stuck in the tunnel where no lights shine.
|
They got to touching all the girls were to scared to call out.
|
Nobody was saying anything at all.
|
We were waiting for the end of the world,
|
waiting for the end of the world,
|
waiting for the end of the world.
|
Dear Lord I sincerely hope you're coming
|
'cause you really started something.
|
|
Things got back to normal as the train began to roll again.
|
We got to the station about twenty minutes later.
|
The legendary hitchhiker says that he knows where it's at.
|
Now he'd like to go to Spain or somewhere like that,
|
with his two-tone Bible and his funny cigarettes,
|
his suntan lotion and his castanets.
|
|
He was waiting for the end of the world,
|
waiting for the end of the world,
|
waiting for the end of the world.
|
Dear Lord I sincerely hope you're coming
|
'cause you really started something.
|
|
And then the bride, the groom, the congregation and the priest
|
all got onto the train when we were three stations east, yeah.
|
Hiding from a scandal in the national press,
|
they had been trying to get married since they stole the wedding dress.
|
You may see them drowning as you stroll along the beach,
|
but don't throw out the lifeline till they're clean out of reach.
