he's sitting in the lobby of an african hotel

a gun in his pocket, he's waiting for himself

and this girl at the bar says: hey, what do you think

c'mon, pay me a drink, be my karaoke king

cause you're bigger than elvis and smarter than bob

and you're singing songs you've never heard before

and this is judgement day so tell me what you have to say

but why don't you sing it when you're singing anyway

tell me, why don't you sing it when you're singing anyway

evermore i drove down the glowing bones

of a shattered highway without an end

and i watched your hair 'gainst the fields of wheat

like a flickering flame in the screaming winds

if our love was bigger than the 7 seas

wonder how big our lifes in the end might be

to fit in everything, all the goods, all the sin

but we shouldn't complain as long's we're not givin' in

we're all waiting for the new light...

i am sitting in the lobby of an african hotel

i'm waiting for someone who will never come

and the girl at the bar says: angel, pay me a drink

c'mon, c'mon, be my karaoke king

cause you're bigger than bernhard and you're smarter than gold

and i bet in your pocket is a 45 colt

and this is judgement day, so why don't you stay

and we're killing some time before it kills us anyway

don't wanna be too negative, so please don't get me wrong

it's just that life's too short and that your dead for too long

and ain't it strange we care the most about the least important things

i've been waiting here for so long since a million fucking drinks

cause you're bigger than bernie and you're smarter than gold

and i bet in your pocket is a 45 colt

and this is judgement day, so why don't you stay

and we're killing some time before it kills us anyway

waiting for the new light...
