Waiting for the Big One

[Intro]

(A-one, bah, a-two, bah)

(A-one, two, a-three, a—)

[Verse 1]

The wine's all drunk and so am I

Here with the hoi-poloi, don't ask me why

We're celebrating, anticipating 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

[Verse 2]

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

'Cause 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 on the big one"

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

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, oh

But in the meantime, I'm going to have me some fun

I'm waiting for the big one

[Verse 4]

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, yeah, I'm just out of place

I won't get in too deep, I want to get some sleep

To be ready for the big

To be ready for the big one

[Instrumental Break]

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]

Oh, ooh, waiting for the big one

Oh, ooh, waiting for the big one

Oh, ooh
