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 through, tarred and tanned
We flex and count the tumors 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 technicolor thrill, it costs a fortune
So it must be real for just a little sip
We'll keep waiting just a lifetime
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 rattles on our ventilator
Guess the time we sat there waiting
Yes, you guessed it, we waited just a lifetime
Dragons walked the earth again and paraffin was free
A fire-eater went insane and torched the final tree
And one fine day the planet crumbled, just 'cause
Someone sneezed, for this, for this we waited just a lifetime
For this, for this we've waited just a lifetime
A lifetime
