Your steady stream of throwaway words has flooded This already crowded room I've lost my taste for the race and the running There's nothing here to prove All I want Want to know Is what you're waiting for I'll flood the wreckage Build a bridge into the next age and Say goodbye and leave a Cloud of dust behind Flood the wreckage Build a bridge into the next age and Say goodbye and leave a Cloud of dust behind Spare us both the waste of a conversation We've had too many times Hope deferred makes the heart sick with desperation And we've had enough for a lifetime All I want Want to know Is what you're waiting for I'll flood the wreckage Build a bridge into the next age and Say goodbye and leave a Cloud of dust behind Flood the wreckage Build a bridge into the next age and Say goodbye and leave a Cloud of dust behind The rush, the panic The manic flood of static Not quite sure why it never occurred It wasn't worth what I was missing The longer we stay In this tragic comedy Is just that much longer that it's gonna take To learn life is meant for living (Good things come to those who wait They pass by those who hesitate) I'll flood the wreckage Build a bridge into the next age and Say goodbye and leave a Cloud of dust behind Flood the wreckage Build a bridge into the next age and Say goodbye and leave a Cloud of dust behind I spend my days at the sundown motel Know my way around night town very well
