The wine's all drunk and so am I

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

We're celebratin' anticipatin'; end of the year

everybody come, everybody here

- well more or less

Some already in a mess

I guess they're waiting for the big one.



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.



Once I was the credit to my credit card

spent what I hadn't got, [it] wasn't hard

No trust in judgement no trust in money

Someday I'll find myself like a bee finding honey

But in the meantime

I'm gonna have me some fun

Waiting for the big one.



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 I'm just out of place

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
