They shut down the Golden Sahara hotel |
| [00:22.13] |
Jessica says it won't be long |
| [00:24.47] |
'til they blow it all to hell |
| [00:29.07] |
She's standing in the front yard, |
| [00:33.03] |
cut-offs and skin |
| [00:36.47] |
Me and her brother, we've been friends |
| [00:38.62] |
since I can't remember when |
| [00:43.54] |
And ain't that the way it's always been |
| [00:50.60] |
Everybody's sittin' around |
| [00:52.35] |
waiting for the Son to come again |
| [00:57.47] |
A shift at the chemical plant, |
| [01:00.99] |
a white wedding dress |
| [01:04.62] |
I wake up every morning |
| [01:06.06] |
and I wonder if I'm gonna pass the test |
| [01:11.74] |
Tryin' to live up to |
| [01:15.12] |
what she's got in mind |
| [01:18.68] |
Sometimes the pressure's so heavy, |
| [01:21.12] |
I feel like leaving it all behind me |
| [01:25.93] |
And ain't that the way it's always been |
| [01:32.62] |
Layin' low just long enough |
| [01:35.18] |
for the dust to settle down |
| [01:39.91] |
The black and the white, |
| [01:43.41] |
the thick and thin |
| [01:47.10] |
And hoping that he's really got the power |
| [01:49.54] |
to save us from these sins |
| [01:54.16] |
Everybody's sittin' around |
| [01:55.97] |
waiting for the Son to come again |
| [02:01.60] |
I took a long walk yesterday (yesterday) |
| [02:08.72] |
To a field where I used to play |
| [02:14.29] |
I saw myself in the corner of my mind |
| [02:19.72] |
I was 12 years old and blind |
| [02:23.60] |
To the big wheel and the grind |
| [02:47.04] |
Ain't that the way it's always been |
| [02:53.97] |
Standing at the water's edge |
| [02:56.41] |
waiting for the fog to clear |
| [03:01.16] |
Tackle or touch, you sink or you swim |
| [03:08.04] |
And hoping that he's really got the power |
| [03:10.66] |
to save us from these sins |
| [03:15.35] |
Everybody's sittin' around |
| [03:17.04] |
waiting for the Son to come again |
| [03:20.60] |
They're waiting for the Son to come again |
