Life in hive city Somewhere in the east Flowing down a crowded street As though I am or I will be released Can't stop yawning, clear blue morning In mourning no more Come and see the wild things Just beyond the door But there's an old man here who claims that he knew you In another life I'm not sure what he said And could it be that he still thinks you're his wife I've been waiting seems like eternity I've been waiting, waiting for you I'm still waiting, if you remember me I'll be waiting, waiting for you Drink and sing on a desert wind behind here The ghosts have laid there fine little clay to rest But who they they left and what they thought they stayed for Is crumbled in their life's dusty caress They were so blind They were so blind Hiding in a hotel room Somewhere in the west I heard they brought a priest in to sanctify the place But it remained unblessed Things move around My guitar sometimes plays itself They say it's static electricity but Yesterday it took twenty dollars off the shelf There's a young man here, says, May or June, another town The children cry and ask where their mother is Gonna have to let them down I've been hurt... I've been around I've been waiting seems like eternity I've been waiting, waiting for you I'm still waiting, if you remember me I'll be waiting, waiting for you Lifted shelves are fading in the valley Where once the sea had strength enough to reach And out of twisted metal I've discarded for Gaea's curse no one here can quite translate the verses they wanted to preach They were blind They were so blind They were so blind They were so blind I've been waiting seems like eternity I've been waiting, waiting for you (so blind) I'm still waiting, if you remember me I'll be waiting, waiting for you
