Waiting For The End Of The World Lyrics - My Aim Is True - Elvis Costello

The man from the television crawled into the train 

I wonder who he's gonna stick it in this time 

Everyone was looking for a little entertainment 

So they'll probably pull his hands off when they find out his name 

And then they shut down the power all along the line 

And we got stuck in the tunnel where no lights shine 

They got to touchin' all the girls were to scared to call out 

Nobody was saying anything at all 

We were waiting for the end of the world 

Waiting for the end of the world, waiting for the end of the world 

Dear Lord, I sincerely hope You're coming 

'Cause You really started something

Things got back to normal as the train began to roll again 

We got to the station about twenty minutes later 

The legendary hitchhiker says that he knows where it's at 

Now he'd like to go to Spain or somewhere like that 

With his two-tone Bible and his funny cigarettes 

His suntan lotion and his castanets 

He was waiting for the end of the world 

Waiting for the end of the world, waiting for the end of the world 

Dear Lord, I sincerely hope You're coming 

'Cause You really started something 

And then the bride, the groom, the congregation and the priest 

All got onto the train when we were three stations east, yeah 

Hiding from a scandal in the national press 

They had been trying to get married since they stole the wedding dress 

You may see them drowning as you stroll along the beach 

But don't throw out the lifeline till they're clean out of reach
