Waiting In Green Velvet — текст песни (Joshua Kadison)

Waiting in green velvet with a suitcase in her hand,
standing down a ways from the bus stop sign,
looking at the sky, like she was bound for the promised land,
checkin` out her watch like she was losing time.
She was checkin` out her watch like she was losing time.

Chorus:
Thought I heard her talkin` somethin` `bout
"Rainbow lights, a psychedelic sight, it`ll be here soon,
comin` down to fly us all away.
Can`t you hear the roar of the distant engines from a far-off moon?
Are you packed and ready for Judgement Day?"


So I just sat there on the bus stop bench awhile
and watched her stare into the sun.
Reminded me what my grandma said when I was just a child,
"That`ll hurt your eyes, dear little one,
that`ll hurt your eyes, dear little one."


CHORUS


The bus pulled up and I got in but the girl didn`t even move.
This was not the ride she was waiting for.
The bus driver just shook his head `cause there`s nothing in the world to do
and I waved good-bye through the slowly closing door.
I just waved good-bye through the slowly closing door.


CHORUS
