Waiting For The End Of The World

Lyrics

The man from the television crawled into the train
 I wonder who he's gonna stick it in this time
 Everyone was looking for a little entertainment
 So they'll probably pull his hands off when they find out his name
 And then they shut down the power all along the line
 And we got stuck in the tunnel where no lights shine
 They got to touchin' all the girls were to scared to call out
 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 sincerely hope You're coming
 'Cause You really started something
 Things got back to normal as the train began to roll again
 We got to the station about twenty minutes later
 The legendary hitchhiker says that he knows where it's at
 Now he'd like to go to Spain or somewhere like that
 With his two-tone Bible and his funny cigarettes
 His suntan lotion and his castanets
 He was waiting for the end of the world
 Waiting for the end of the world, waiting for the end of the world
 Dear Lord, I sincerely hope You're coming
 'Cause You really started something
 And then the bride, the groom, the congregation and the priest
 All got onto the train when we were three stations east, yeah
 Hiding from a scandal in the national press
 They had been trying to get married since they stole the wedding dress
 You may see them drowning as you stroll along the beach
 But don't throw out the lifeline till they're 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
