Lyrics

WAITING FOR THE NEXT BIG THING
WORDS AND MUSIC M. A. ROSE


WELCOME TO MY HEAD, I DON'T THINK WE'VE MET
I'VE BEEN A LONG TIME COMING, AROUND THE BEND
I'VE BEEN HUNG UP AND MISSED MY CALL
IT'S SUCH A DRAG THAT CHAIN AND BALL
BUT I FOUND MYSELF, I WAS FLOATING IN THE WINGS
STANDING ON THE CORNER, WAITING FOR THE NEXT BIG THING

I'M A LABOR OF LOVE, A WHEEL BARROW OF FUN
I WAS A LONGSHOT BABY, A MILLION TO ONE
I BEEN MIXED UP AND SHAKEN DOWN
MY HALF CUP EMPTIED ON THE GROUND
BUT I FOUND MYSELF, AND I FINALLY LET ME IN
STANDING ON THE CORNER, WAITING FOR THE NEXT BIG THING

I'VE BEEN LIVING LIFE SO STRANGE, LOOKING LIKE A KING
GETTING AWAY WITH MURDER
NOW MY EARS STILL RING
FROM WAITING FOR THE NEXT BIG, WAITING FOR THE NEXT BIG
THING

NOW MY HEART IS REPLETE, AND MY TASTE TEST IS SWEET
I'M CLIMBING OFF MY KNEES, ON MY OWN TWO FEET
I'VE BEEN HUNG UP AND MISSED MY CALL
IT'S SUCH A DRAG THAT CHAIN AND BALL
BUT I FOUND MY VOICE AND I REMEMBERED HOW TO SING
STANDING ON THE CORNER, WAITING FOR THE NEXT BIG THING
