Waiting in my corner, waiting on the bell

I was coming off the ropes, I was going to give them hell

Now I'm waiting



Waiting on the lyric, waiting on the song

I know the muse is coming, I'm holding on

I'm waiting

Waiting on the chances, waiting on the breaks

Waiting on an opportunity that I could take

I'm still waiting



Chorus

And all the time I wonder why

Just what or who the hell I am

Where I'm at, where I'm from

Where I'm going, where I belong

Tell me where I'm coming from

Because I'm waiting in the pipeline



Waiting on a message, waiting on a sign

I was waiting on my holy grail to shine

Waiting with the crossword, waiting on reviews

Waiting on something or someone to give me a clue

I'm still waiting



Chorus

And all the time I wonder why

Just what or who the hell I am

Where I'm at, where I'm from

Where I'm going, where I belong

Why do you keep me waiting on

Because I'm waiting in the pipeline



If the carpet that I'm sitting on could fly

If the ring that's on my finger was a sorcerer's charm

If the cloak that I'm wearing could hide me away

I could wait for forever and a day

If the lady that I'm waiting on isn't mine

Then the castles that I'm building are on shifting sands

If the dream that I'm chasing isn't true

Then the light at the end of the tunnel is just a wrecker's fire



Waiting in the pipeline, waiting on the silence

Waiting on the sound, waiting in the backstage

Waiting on the crowd, waiting

Waiting on the critic, waiting on the gong

Waiting on the DJ to play my song

Play my song, I'm waiting



And all the time I wonder why

Just what or who the hell I am

Where I'm at, where I'm from

Where I'm going, where I belong

Tell me where I'm coming from

Because I'm waiting in the pipeline



Waiting in the pipeline, waiting in the pipeline waiting waiting
