Intro

Verse 1

(0:54-)

The wine's all drunk and so am I

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

We're cele-brat-in' an-ticipatin' end of the year

Everybody come, everybody here

Well more or less,

Some al-read-y in a mess

I guess they're waiting for the big one.

Verse 2

(1:44-)

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

'Cos 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 for the big one.

Verse 3

(3:03-)

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, ah

I'm gonna have me some fun

Waiting for the big one.

Verse 4

(3:50-)

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, a-ha

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
