Not Waitin' Around Songtext
von Mike Maimone

The lights are on in Cleveland
I like that building right across the street
From the 26th floor I′m looking down
That would be quite a fall

Well, lately I've been wonderin′
If life's too short or long
And do these windows open
Or do I have to smash one out?

I'd soar like snowflakes dancing ′round
The nighttime sky so high
And drift down to the square
Drink ′til I'm not there
Hop a train to anywhere
When I forgot how to care


I′m not waitin' around, I′m not waitin' around
I′m just tryin' (I'm not waitin′ around)
To bide my time (I′m not waitin' around)
I′m not waitin' around, I′m not waitin' around
I′ll be gettin' (I'm not waitin′ around)
By just fine (I′m not waitin' around)
If would you please step to the side (oh)
You′re blockin' the TV (oh-oh, oh, oh)
And they′re about to preview the next episode

The sun is up in Portland
I need a new head, this one is killing me
From the edge of my bed I'm lookin′ down
That would be quite a fall

Well, lately I've been wonderin'
Just what′s right and wrong
And what the hell did I do last night
′Cause this is not my room

I drove all night with Cali' sounds ringing in my ears
And crashed down on the shore
Woke up and drank some more
I walked the ocean floor
Makin′ my way to Singapore


I'm not waitin′ around, I'm not waitin′ around
I'm just tryin' (I′m not waitin′ around)
To bide my time (I'm not waitin′ around)
I'm not waitin′ around, I'm not waitin′ around
I'll be gettin' (I′m not waitin′ around)
By just fine (I'm not waitin′ around)
If would you please step to the side (oh)
You're blockin′ the TV (oh-oh, oh, oh)
And they're about to preview the next episode

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ohh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ohh, aah, ah, ah-ah-ah
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ah, ooh
Ah-ah, ah-ah (ah, ah, ah, ah)

I′m not waitin' around, I'm not waitin′ around
I′m just tryin' (I′m not waitin' around)
To bide my time (I′m not waitin' around)
I′m not waitin' around, I'm not waitin′ around
I′ll be gettin' (I′m not waitin' around)
By just fine (I′m not waitin' around)
Now would you please step to the side
You′re blockin' the TV
And they're about to preview the next episode
