Waiting Room (Live) - Washington DC 09/03/87_FLS0001
[Intro]
This is a song about
What the heck we could do if we did
And Pedro Lowly is going to begin it for us
This is also one these songs that you can sort of bend your knees
Or do anything you damn well please
Because they say movement is a big part of life and we should move around a whole bunch
[Verse 1]
I am a patient boy
I wait, I wait, I wait, I wait
My time is water down a drain
Everybody's moving, everybody's moving
Everybody's moving, moving, moving, moving
Please don't leave me to remain
In the waiting room
[Chorus]
I don't want the news (I cannot use it)
I don't want the news (I won't live by it)
Sitting outsidе of town
Everybody's always down
Because thеy can't get up
[Interlude]
Anyway, as I was saying
[Verse 2]
I don't sit idly by
I'm planning a big surprise
I'm gonna fight for what I wanna be
And I won't make the same mistakes
Because I know how much time that wastes
Function is the key
To the waiting room
[Chorus]
I don't want the news (I cannot use it)
I don't want the news (I won't live by it)
Sitting outside of town
Everybody's always down
Because they can't get up
[Bridge]
In the waiting room
[Outro]
Sitting in the waiting room
Sitting in the waiting room
Sitting in the waiting room
Sitting in the waiting room
Because they can't get up
