Lyrics for Waiting For The End Of The World - Live At The Regent Theatre, 1978

The man from the television got onto the train I wondered who was gonna stick it out this time Everyone was looking for a little entertainment So they probably put his hands up and he found out his name And then he took down a bottle of a long line And we got stuck in a tunnel with no light shining Got to touching other girls who were scared to call And nobody was saying anything at all We were waiting for the end of the world Waiting for the end of the world Waiting for the end of the world Dear Lord, I said, "Sir, I hope you're coming 'Cause you better start it something" And things got back to normal as the train began to roll again We got to the station about ten minutes later Legendary hitchhiker says that he knows a church And I'd like to go to Spain or somewhere like that With his two-tone Bible and a smug cigarette She's suntan lotion and a desperate natural I said, "Waiting for the end of the world Waiting for the end of the world Waiting for the end of the world Dear Lord, I said, "Sir, I hope you're coming 'Cause you better start it something" And the bride, the groom, the congregation and the priest All piled onto the train when we were three stations east Hadn't found a scandal in the national press They had been trying to get married since they stole a wedding dress You may see them drowning as you stroll on the beach Don't want out the lifeline to clean out of reach Waiting for the end of the world Waiting for the end of the world Waiting for the end of the world Waiting for the end of the world I've been waiting I've been waiting I've been waiting I've been waiting For so long For so long For so long For so long For so long For so long For so long For so long For so long So long Dear Lord
