Been Waiting - The Flashing Lights

At a bus stop, feeling lazy

Caught a northbound for a mile

Saw you sitting by the window

You were flipping through a file

Bet you wonder what I’m doing

Come to think it, so do I

Feeling stretched out, feeling wasted

But I’m loaded, but why

But I’ve no time for talking

I shouldn’t be here walking

'Cause I’m late for my limousine ride

And if you don’t recall my name

Well that’s the price of fame

But we’re known in the valley

And big back in Hali

We’re the Kings of the Canadian Nile

Though it’s hard to assess

The power we possess

If you haven’t caught our act in a while

So you go up to the palisade

Down by the old arcade

And then you’ll want to hang a right

Then it’s left at Burger King

Look for a murder scene

We’ll be appearing all night

Bet it feels good

Climbing slow and steady to the sky

Wish I had your inclination

I feel stupid trying to fly

But don’t you ever feel sorry

Don’t ever feel sorry for me

For being stuck in the alley

Trying to claw my way back till

We are known in the valley

And big back in Hali

We’re the Kings of the Canadian Nile

At seven ring pull

And let it ring full

Well I guess that sounds pretty wild

Just sit like you’re seventeen

And I won’t mind a bit

You’ll find the answers that you seek

Now flip through a magazine

Look for a murder scene

We’ll be appearing all week
