I'm sorry Sir but I really must be leaving
I haven't got the time to sit and talk
He said you'd better take the time, you need me
I said I haven't got the time, please excuse me
[Chorus]
He said people don't see that they're wasting away
People don't smile
They say there's nothing to smile about
I can feel it moving
It's harder to pretend
Watching for the signals
Waiting for the end
They send the homeless souls on a sea voyage
Who can understand what is happening?
What can I do?
What can one man do?
Does anybody know what is happening?
[Chorus]
He said people don't see that we're wasting away
People don't believe
It was something worth dying about
I can feel it moving
Harder to defend
Watching for the signals
Waiting for the end
Have mercy
Glimpses have always inspired me
Fragments have always intrigued me
I seem to love pleasure
And I seem to love pain
Is there any category for me?
[Chorus]
He said people don't see that we're wasting away
People don't laugh
They say there's nothing to laugh about
I can feel it moving
I can feel a trend
Watching for the signals
Waiting for the end
Waiting for the end
Waiting
Waiting
Waiting
Waiting for the End was written by Michael Been.
Waiting for the End was produced by Hugh Padgham.
