Waiting For The Big One Lyrics - Car - 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 a credit to my credit card 

spent what I hadn't got, it wasn't hard 

No trust in judgements 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. 

Photos 

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 

-- waiting for the big one.
