Now our skys are falling down And we have worn out all our frowns And we have broken all our crowns And been run out of all our towns If it's the rod that wasn't spared Or the ugly stick that you're below Everybody took a licking and kept on ticking Well, and they're all still waiting for the blow Ahhh Waiting for the, waiting for the blow... Tell me now, exactly how Your heart was broken long ago It was devistating and you're still waiting You're still waiting for the blow I have no choice but to hold my voice Before your sorry tale of woe It's no surprise, I can empathize We're all still waiting for the blow Ahhh Waiting for the, waiting for the blow... (interlude) Ahhh Waiting for the, waiting for the blow... Tell me, baby, why you're waiting I want to know just where you're from The trip to the floor you're waiting for You know the blow may never come Take your chances, place your bets 'cause you know you never know If it never arrives we waste our lives Waste them waiting for the blow Ahhh Waiting for the, waiting for the blow...
