LYRICS

Waiting For The Big One

Magazines and paperbacks
Print the figures and the facts
It isn't easy to relax
Waiting for the big one

Tea leaves in a coffee cup
Say we'll all be swallowed up
So keep a rabbit's foot for luck
Waiting for the big one

But life goes on
We just wanna have some fun
In this beautiful world lying in the sun
Waiting for the big one

Tarot cards and crystal balls
Gurus in the shopping malls
Religious sects behind four walls
Waiting for the big one

So make a wish and cast a spell
Sound a warning, ring the bell
A man fell down a wishing well
Waiting for the big one

But life goes on
Just like it's always done
In this beautiful world - our Kingdom Come
Waiting for the big one

What would Nostradamus say
If he could just be here today
Get down on your knees and pray
Waiting for the big one

But life goes on
And there's nowhere left to run
In this beautiful world, nothing's being done
Waiting for the big one

But life goes on
And we've only just begun
In this beautiful world - you look so young
Waiting for the big one

Boy From The Stars

How does it feel to be the boy from the stars
When you're misunderstood and amazed
A minority man man that came from afar
To sing you a song through the haze

And how does it look to the lad from the sun
When your eyes can't believe what they see
Driven to tears by the ignorant ones
And you just don't know what to be

(Chorus)
But oh how you love each day
With every passing joy
Just to know you come from far away
And you're only just a boy

How does it sound to the child of the sky
When your eardrums are pounding with rage
You scream into deafened ears as you try
To free thier souls from the cage

And what does it mean to the man from the land
When they've poisened the season they've sown
Well you're sickened and saddened and bound by the sands
T'il the child in their minds has time to grow

Chorus

Well what will become of the lad from the sun
When your shell sinks to the ground
Will you ever find out who you really are
Thank God we can hear what you found
