Waiting For The Big One — текст песни (Peter Gabriel)

The wine`s all drunk and so am I
Here with the hoi-poloi, don`t ask me why
We`re celebratin` anticipatin`; end of the year
everybody come, everybody here
- well more or less
Some already in a mess
I guess they`re waiting for the big one.

Wonder why I`m cold. How did I get this far?
Had no money, had no car
I pray the snow goes, be bad if it settles
`cos I follow my nose and the dried up rose petals
- like the man says,
Sure hope Moses knows his roses
Or we`ll all be waiting for the big one.

Once I was the credit to my credit card
spent what I hadn`t got, [it] wasn`t hard
No trust in judgement no trust in money
Someday I`ll find myself like a bee finding honey
But in the meantime
I`m gonna have me some fun
Waiting for the big one.

One too many, where ego I go too
Looking for the real thing
It don`t come from what I do
No real communication moves out of my face
I`m beginning to think I`m just out of place
Won`t get in too deep, I want to get some sleep
To be ready for the big one
To be ready for the big one
