Peter Gabriel - Waiting for the Big One lyrics

"A one ba a two ba a one, two, a three, a"

The wine's all drunk and so am I
Here with the hoi-poloi, don't ask me why
We're celebrating
Anticipating 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
Because 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 on the big one

Once I was the credit to my credit card
Spent what I hadn't got, wasn't hard
No trust in judgement, no trust in money
Someday I'll find myself like
A bee finding honey, oh
But in the meantime
I'm going to 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, yeah
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

Oh, oh, ooh waiting for the big one
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh waiting for the big one
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh, ooh, ooh
