I woke up last night, I turned on the light But the room just kept spinning I thought I heard you scream, but you were fast asleep And I knew what you were dreaming Your face looked like the moon, reflected in a spoon And outside a chorus of June bugs was singing We are all just waiting in the wings How could I forget the night that we first met? I was playing in the parlor You begged me for a song, and when I got it wrong You said you were the master's daughter Then underneath the moon we began to spoon While outside a chorus of June bugs was singing We are all just waiting in the wings
And though we thought the evil empire Would be returned into sand It seems now all our battles were in vain But if the half-light from this half-life We are living goes disappearing I know that our love will still remain Now we're on the run with our sabers and our guns Waiting for the final hour When love will play its hand and the overlords of man Will be stripped of all their power Imprisoned on the moon, our comrades sharpen spoons While their chorus goes rising to the heavens We are all just waiting in the wings
