Waiting For The End Of The World (Live At The El Mocambo)

[Verse 1]

The man from the television crawled into the train

I wonder who he's going to 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 touching all the girls who were too scared to call out

Nobody was saying anything at all

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 3]

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 roll out the lifeline till they're clean out of reach

[Outro]

Waiting for the end of the world

[repeat until fade]
