Waiting in Green Velvet

Waiting in green velvet

With a suitcase in her hand,

Standing down a ways from

The bus stop sign,

Looking at the sky,

Like she was bound for

The promised land,

Checkin' out her watch

Like she was losing time.

She was checkin' out her watch

Like she was losing time.

Thought I heard her talkin' somethin' 'bout

Rainbow lights, a psychedelic sight,

It'll be here soon,

Comin' down to fly us all away.

Can't you hear the roar of

The distant engines from a far-off moon?

Are you packed and ready for Judgement Day?

So I just sat there on

The bus stop bench awhile

And watched her stare into the sun.

Reminded me what

My grandma said

When I was just a child,

That'll hurt your eyes, dear little one,

That'll hurt your eyes, dear little one.

Thought I heard her talkin' somethin' 'bout

Rainbow lights, a psychedelic sight,

It'll be here soon,

Comin' down to fly us all away.

Can't you hear the roar of

The distant engines from a far-off moon?

Are you packed and ready for Judgement Day?

The bus pulled up and I got in

But the girl didn't even move.

This was not the ride she was waiting for.

The bus driver just shook his head

Cause there's nothing in the world to do

And I waved good-bye through

The slowly closing door.

I just waved good-bye

Through the slowly closing door.

Thought I heard her talkin' somethin' 'bout

Rainbow lights, a psychedelic sight,

It'll be here soon,

Comin' down to fly us all away.

Can't you hear the roar of

The distant engines from a far-off moon?

Are you packed and ready for Judgement Day?
