lyrics

Verse I
I sit here waiting.. waiting for something to happen
I sit here waiting for something new
I sit here waiting waiting for something to. Happen
I sit here waiting for something to come out of the blue

Unfortunately my life can depend on people
People who may have told me a lie
Will this wait be so long? I can’t stand it.
Each second is rain begging me to die

Chorus
Opportunity is knocking on that door Let it be your binding words unfurled
Don’t think I don’t have an ace wrapped in neat tin foil
Tired of fakes words over the watched pot that always boils

Verse II
I sit here waiting ..waiting for nothing to happen
I am waiting for a pot that you boiled
I sit here waiting for nothing to happen
I am waiting for something spoiled?!

Everything it seems on purpose is a waste of time
All the people cheering what I wish was mine
A game of honor is something I can play
But a Judas kiss is all you give me today
