He's sitting in the lobby of an African hotel
|
A gun in his pocket, he's waiting for himself
|
And this girl at the bar says: hey, what do you think
|
C'mon, pay me a drink, be my karaoke king
|
Cause you're bigger than Elvis and smarter than bob
|
And you're singing songs you've never heard before
|
And this is judgment day so tell me what you have to say
|
But why don't you sing it when you're singing anyway
|
Tell me, why don't you sing it when you're singing anyway
|
Evermore i drove down the glowing bones
|
Of a shattered highway without an end
|
And i watched your hair 'gainst the fields of wheat
|
Like a flickering flame in the screaming winds
|
If our love was bigger than the 7 seas
|
Wonder how big our life's in the end might be
|
To fit in everything, all the goods, all the sin
|
But we shouldn't complain as long's we're not givin' in
|
We're all waiting for the new light...
|
I am sitting in the lobby of an African hotel
|
I'm waiting for someone who will never come
|
And the girl at the bar says: angel, pay me a drink
|
C'mon, c'mon, be my karaoke king
|
Cause you're bigger than Bernhard and you're smarter than gold
|
And i bet in your pocket is a 45 colt
|
And this is judgment day, so why don't you stay
|
And we're killing some time before it kills us anyway
|
Don't wanna be too negative, so please don't get me wrong
|
It's just that life's too short and that your dead for too long
|
And ain't it strange we care the most about the least important things
|
I've been waiting here for so long since a million fucking drinks
|
Cause you're bigger than Bernie and you're smarter than gold
|
And i bet in your pocket is a 45 colt
|
And this is judgment day, so why don't you stay
|
And we're killing some time before it kills us anyway
|
Waiting for the new light...
