Waiting to Happen

'Cause it's all waiting to happen Yeah it's all just waiting in the wings They're up there with their fingers on the buttons Who's gonna stop them Tell me who I'm entranced by six topless women With their dancing so tender and so free And there's pain in their beauty And beauty in their pain It's all the same It's all the same One comes over and she whispers tenderly Give me heart and I'll throw it in the sea And we can float in with the tide And float out with ecstasy Just come with me Hey boy come with me And it's all just waiting to happen Yeah it's all just hanging in the air I can taste it and smell it with every last breath that I take Just breathe it in Breathe it in Now I come outside to see a man weeping In his suit he's weeping like a little lost child He says I've lost it all I've lost everything I had Tell me who Who's gonna love me now Now I swear this happened and it happened just like this The bouncer comes over and holds him in his big old arms He says you had to lose it all So you could start over again Now in this rain You are baptised And it was always waiting to happen Sometimes we're just actors in a play And they tell us what to think And they tell us what to say Just let it play Let it play And it's all just waiting to happen Sometimes we're just actors in a play And they tell us what to think And they tell us what to say Just let it play Let it play
