0:09The man from the television crawled into the train
0:12I wonder who he's gonna stick it in this time
0:17Everyone was looking for a little entertainment'
0:21So they'll probably pull his hands off
0:23When they find out his name
0:25And then they shut down the power all along the line'
0:30And we got stuck in the tunnel where no lights shine
0:34They got to touching all the girls were to scared to call out
0:38Nobody was saying anything at all
0:42We were waiting for the end of the world'
0:46Waiting for the end of the world'
0:51Waiting for the end of the world
0:53Dear Lord I sincerely hope you're coming
0:57'Cause you really started something
1:08Things got back to normal as the train began to roll again
1:12We got to the station about twenty minutes later
1:20The legendary hitchhiker says that he knows where it's at
1:25Now he'd like to go to Spain or somewhere like that'
1:28With his two-tone Bible and his funny cigarettes'
1:32His suntan lotion and his castanets
1:36He was waiting for the end of the world'
1:41Waiting for the end of the world'
1:45Waiting for the end of the world
1:48Dear Lord I sincerely hope you're coming
1:52'Cause you really started something
2:02And then the bride' the groom' the congregation and the priest
2:07All got onto the train when we were three stations east' yeah
2:19Hiding from a scandal in the national press'
2:22They had been trying to get married since they stole the wedding dress
2:27You may see them drowning as you stroll along the beach'
2:31But don't throw out the lifeline till they're clean out of reach
2:36We were waiting for the end of the world'
2:40Waiting for the end of the world'
2:44Waiting for the end of the world
2:48Waiting for the end of the world
The man from the television crawled into the train I wonder who he's gonna stick it in this time Everyone was looking for a little entertainment' So they'll probably pull his hands off When they find out his name And then they shut down the power all along the line' And we got stuck in the tunnel where no lights shine They got to touching all the girls were to scared to call out Nobody was saying anything at all We were waiting for the end of the world' Waiting for the end of the world' Waiting for the end of the world Dear Lord I sincerely hope you're coming 'Cause you really started something Things got back to normal as the train began to roll again We got to the station about twenty minutes later The legendary hitchhiker says that he knows where it's at Now he'd like to go to Spain or somewhere like that' With his two-tone Bible and his funny cigarettes' His suntan lotion and his castanets He was waiting for the end of the world' Waiting for the end of the world' Waiting for the end of the world Dear Lord I sincerely hope you're coming 'Cause you really started something And then the bride' the groom' the congregation and the priest All got onto the train when we were three stations east' yeah Hiding from a scandal in the national press' They had been trying to get married since they stole the wedding dress You may see them drowning as you stroll along the beach' But don't throw out the lifeline till they're clean out of reach We were waiting for the end of the world' Waiting for the end of the world' Waiting for the end of the world Waiting for the end of the world
