Verse 1
(0:54-)
The wine's all drunk and so am I
Here with the hoi-poloi, don't ask me why
We're cele-brat-in' an-ticipatin' end of the year
Everybody come, everybody here
Well more or less,
Some al-read-y in a mess
I guess they're waiting for the big one.
Verse 2
(1:44-)
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.

Verse 3
(3:03-)
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, ah
I'm gonna have me some fun
Waiting for the big one.
Verse 4
(3:50-)
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, a-ha
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
