Forever Shall We Wait Songtext
von The Leisure Society

In silence we shall sit
Contemplating everything
The world and how we came to be
Alone aboard the ark
The same thoughts every night
Bathed in cold fluorescent light
If this is it then what a ride,
Wake me when it′s through.
To have it all and seize the day.
To go where no one else dare stray
Bereft shall we wait


In light of developments
I suggest we start again
The 9 to 5 the 6 to 10 have
Swallowed ever urge
And it makes no difference
When all your money goes on rent
The never ending arguments
To be put up in arms
To have a place to call our own
To shorn the old familiar road
Forever shall we wait

These arms are heavy
These feet are raw
I cannot walk
But I can crawl
Into the arms of another
Monster lurking somewhere deep inside
My mind set on the brink
I miss it from the kitchen sink
Regret the days you didn't glimpse
A spark amid the mild
Invading every scene
Welcome to the working week
A place to hide until we leave
To dream perchance to sleep
To grease the corridors of youth
I let them tell me what to do.
I won′t do that again.


These arms are heavy
These feet are raw
I cannot walk
But I can crawl
Into the arms of another
Monster lurking somewhere deep inside
Deep inside, Deep inside, Deep Inside
