Lyrics
The man from the television crawled into the train I wonder who he's gonna stick it in this time Everyone was looking for a little entertainment So they'll probably pull his hands off when they find out his name And then they shut down the power all along the line And we got stuck in the tunnel where no lights shine They got to touchin' all the girls were to scared to call out Nobody was saying anything at all We were waiting for the end of the world Waiting for the end of the world, waiting for the end of the world Dear Lord, I sincerely hope You're coming 'Cause You really started something Things got back to normal as the train began to roll again We got to the station about twenty minutes later The legendary hitchhiker says that he knows where it's at Now he'd like to go to Spain or somewhere like that With his two-tone Bible and his funny cigarettes His suntan lotion and his castanets He was waiting for the end of the world Waiting for the end of the world, waiting for the end of the world Dear Lord, I sincerely hope You're coming 'Cause You really started something And then the bride, the groom, the congregation and the priest All got onto the train when we were three stations east, yeah Hiding from a scandal in the national press They had been trying to get married since they stole the wedding dress You may see them drowning as you stroll along the beach But don't throw out the lifeline till they're clean out of reach Waiting for the end of the world Waiting for the end of the world Waiting for the end of the world
