Waiting for the Next World

It was spring when we looked out, but ice was still on the ground
There was milk on the doorstep and I was thinking aloud
And you heard, please don't catch every word
Words don't mean a lot when know we're only

CHORUS
Waiting, for the next world
Waiting, for the next world

If the city we live in should tumble around our heads
And the life that we cherish should crumble
We'll find a heaven, somewhere I have never been there
but they always said it's around the corner

CHORUS

BRIDGE
We'll never do it this time, we'll never do it now
We'll put it off till tomorrow,
But tomorrow never dies, it's a sacred cow

There are birds on the pavement, they flutter just like my heart
They don't stay when you chase them, they scatter up and apart
and fly away, how I wish they would stay,
but they don't understand if they live or die they're

Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting...

Waiting, for the next world
Waiting, for the next world

Waiting, for the next world
Waiting, for the next world
