The wine's all drunk and so am I
   Here with the hoi-poloi, don't ask me why
   We're celebratin' anticipatin'; end of the year
   everybody come, everybody here
   - well more or less
   Some already in a mess
   I guess they're waiting for the big one.
  
   Wonder why I'm cold. How did I get this far?
   Had no money, had no car
   I pray the snow goes, be bad if it settles
   'cos I follow my nose and the dried up rose petals
   - like the man says,
   Sure hope Moses knows his roses
   Or we'll all be waiting for the big one.
  
   Once I was the credit to my credit card
   spent what I hadn't got, wasn't hard
   No trust in judgement no trust in money
   Someday I'll find myself like a bee finding honey
   But in the meantime
   I'm gonna have me some fun
   Waiting for the big one.
  
   One too many, where ego I go too
   Looking for the real thing
   It don't come from what I do
   No real communication moves out of my face
   I'm beginning to think I'm just out of place
   Won't get in too deep, I want to get some sleep
   To be ready for the big one
   - waiting for the big one
