Waiting for the Big One

[Intro]
"A one... ba... a two... ba... 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

[Chorus]
I guess they're waiting for the big one
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
Because 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 2]
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

[Chorus]
Waiting for the big one
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
Won't get in too deep
I want to get some sleep
To be ready for the big one
To be ready for the big one

[Instrumental Break]

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
Oh, oh, ooh
Waiting for the big one
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh
Waiting for the big one
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh, ooh, ooh
