Weeping like the ghost of winter, we watch our tears
Kiss ash and turn to steam We walk on hot coals
Where a stream meandered Tarred and tanned We
Flex and count the tumours on our hands--spreading
Swiftly now For this, we waited just a lifetime
Sun blessed mirror shaded mad dogs Blow a kiss we'll
All fall over Hunting the oasis but there's only cola-
Sensurround A technicolour thrill it costs a fortune,
So it must be real For just a little sip, we'll
Keep waiting (just a lifetime)
And some of us work underground We dug a hole and
Settled down We waited for the gentle sound of steady
Rain to soak the ground and raattle on our ventilator
Guess the time we sat there waiting Yes, you
Guessed! We waited just a lifetime
And dragons walked the earth again; parrafin was free
A fire-eater went insane and torched the final tree
And one fine say the planet crumbled, just cos
Someone sneezed For this, we waited just a lifetime
