Waiting

Dave Dobbyn

If you've been waiting- You've been waiting too long 
Just when you thought you could go on forever- Yeah 
You've been waiting- You've been waiting too long 
Just when you thought you could hold it all together 
Your mind real wild 

Way south of any bordered country 
In a land where the darkness is slow turning 
In the twilight of a postcard island lie 
Little ashtrays of industrial dreams 
And you- Yeah you- Stranded on the moon 
Just to keep it all in the back of your head 
While you zoom- Consume- Little laughter from the gloom 
Just to keep it all in the back of your head now 

If you've been waiting- you've been waiting too long 
Just when you thought you could go on forever- Yeah 
And you've been waiting- you've been waiting too long 
Just when you thought you could hold it all together 
The world unwinds and your mind keeps a spinning out 

In the chaos of a river thrashing 
All that water and still got to stand in line 
Everything you ever wanted truly 
In a word carved in stone just beyond your touch 
Touch- Thank you very much 
Just to keep it all in the back of my head 
While you zoom consume- Little bandits on the moon 
Just to keep it all in the back of your head 
Well the world's unkind I am here to remind you 

If you've been waiting- You've been waiting too long 
Just when you thought you could go on forever- Yeah 
If you've been waiting- You've been waiting too long 
Just when you thought you could hold it all together 
The world unwinds and your mind keeps a-spinning out 

A fine line's been drawn here 
Your tidy world has exploded into pieces 
A songline's been sung here- It's part of you 
It's in blood and tattooed to your heart 

If you've been waiting- You've been waiting too long 
Just when you thought you could go on forever- Yeah 
You've been waiting- You've been waiting too long 
Just when you thought you could hold it all together- 
Yeah 
You've been waiting- You've been waiting too long 
Just when you thought you could go on forever- now 
If you've been waiting- You've been waiting too long 
Just when you thought you could 
Just when you thought you could go on 
Hah- Oh 
You've been waiting too long 
Spinning out a line 
Your mind keeps spinning out a line 
You've been waiting too long 
Too
