Just Waiting

Pensioner's waiting for leap year to come
And the young singer's waiting to sing
And there's a gardener outside a big estate
Waiting for the grass to turn green


The drunk is waiting for an easy mark
The hitchhiker is waiting for a ride
And the prisoner's waiting for a prison break
And the surfer is waiting for the tide


Ah just waiting


You know everything comes to a standstill
Nothing seems to make a turn
Cause the worm's still waitin' for the early bird
And the early bird's waitin' for the worm


And nobody wants to do nothing
Just waiting for a finger in the pie
And waitin' for a call from a tv show
Or waitin' for an uncle to die 1-2-3


Everybody's waitin' for something
And nothing ever turns out right
Because the night shift is waiting for the morning
And the burglar is waiting for the night.


Congregation is waitin' for the vicar
And the vicar is waitin' for the groom
The groom is waiting for his new bride
But the bride is waitin' for june


And everybody is just waitin'
And nobody wants to settle down
They got their heads in a holo-video


The cretin is waitin for u2 to come on mtv again
But the producer is waiting for the blonde bird
And the blonde girl's waitin' for him


Nobody wants to do nothing
Just waiting for their chips and their pie
Waitin' for a call from a big quiz show
Or waitin' for some rich relation to die


You know everything comes to a standstill
Nothing ever makes a turn
And the worm is waitin' for the grass to turn green
While the early bird is waitin' for the worm


I don't think i can really stand it no more
I don't think i can go through it again
I'm just waiting
I'm just waiting
I'm just waiting
I'm just waiting


Yeah bees are waitin' for honey
And i'm putting it on the back burner for now
Cause everybody's racing and fawning and skivin'
And honey i'm waitin' for you
Ah-just waitin'
Ah-just waitin'
Ah-just waitin'
Ah-just waitin'
