Life in hive city

Somewhere in the east

Flowing down a crowded street

As though I am or I will be released

Can't stop yawning, clear blue morning

In mourning no more

Come and see the wild things

Just beyond the door

But there's an old man here who claims that he knew you

In another life

I'm not sure what he said

And could it be that he still thinks you're his wife

I've been waiting seems like eternity

I've been waiting, waiting for you

I'm still waiting, if you remember me

I'll be waiting, waiting for you

Drink and sing on a desert wind behind here

The ghosts have laid there fine little clay to rest

But who they they left and what they thought they stayed for

Is crumbled in their life's dusty caress

They were so blind

They were so blind



Hiding in a hotel room

Somewhere in the west

I heard they brought a priest in to sanctify the place

But it remained unblessed

Things move around

My guitar sometimes plays itself

They say it's static electricity but

Yesterday it took twenty dollars off the shelf

There's a young man here, says, May or June, another town

The children cry and ask where their mother is

Gonna have to let them down

I've been hurt... I've been around

I've been waiting seems like eternity

I've been waiting, waiting for you

I'm still waiting, if you remember me

I'll be waiting, waiting for you

Lifted shelves are fading in the valley

Where once the sea had strength enough to reach

And out of twisted metal I've discarded for Gaea's curse

Noone here can quite translate the verses they wanted to preach

They were blind

They were so blind

They were so blind

They were so blind

I've been waiting seems like eternity

I've been waiting, waiting for you (so blind)

I'm still waiting, if you remember me

I'll be waiting, waiting for you
