I read about it in a book
The book flew out the window
Was later found by thieves and crooks
And now
They're singing hallelujah
I'm wondering just what did they find
They say "what's it to ya?"
Just take a place in line
And wait
So I wait
I wait
And wait
And I...
I'm one of a few survivors
In a drawer labeled "lost and found"
Moon travelers and deep sea divers
Whose oxygen supply ran out
Now maybe if their gods be willing
They'll give us something, fill our empty cups
Sit down in the boat, don't spill it
Or we'll just have to line back up
And wait
So we wait
We wait
Yes we wait
And we wait
And we wait
We will wait
'Til we...
You can hear it in the beat they march to
And you can feel the earth shake when they start to dance
You can tell by the way they move you
It's not murder, it's an act of faith, baby
And as the world moves faster
Whiplashing us round and round
It's quite a slow disaster
But people keep on falling down
As they wait
We wait
And we wait
We wait
Hallelujah!
I've heard about a great big swindle I read about it in a book The book flew out the window Was later found by thieves and crooks And now They're singing hallelujah I'm wondering just what did they find They say "what's it to ya?" Just take a place in line And wait So I wait I wait And wait And I... I'm one of a few survivors In a drawer labeled "lost and found" Moon travelers and deep sea divers Whose oxygen supply ran out Now maybe if their gods be willing They'll give us something, fill our empty cups Sit down in the boat, don't spill it Or we'll just have to line back up And wait So we wait We wait Yes we wait And we wait And we wait We will wait 'Til we... You can hear it in the beat they march to And you can feel the earth shake when they start to dance You can tell by the way they move you It's not murder, it's an act of faith, baby And as the world moves faster Whiplashing us round and round It's quite a slow disaster But people keep on falling down As they wait We wait And we wait We wait Hallelujah!
