living at this moment
waiting for the next
who am i trying to kid
this kid needs a fix

in this jumbled mind
i've got a troubled plan
shaking with the times
waiting on the man

fistful of crumpled dollars
pocket full of ***** change
hoping he's still coming
my time is running late

goes without saying
this ******, i'll be ******
i hear the dirge a-playing
waiting on the man

this pounding in my head
does not bear repeating
shaky future in shaky hands
momentary pleasure is deceiving

if i had a second chance
to do it all again
it would turn out much the same
waiting on the man
