Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If you've been waiting you've been waiting too long
Just when you thought you could go on forever, yeah
You've been waiting you've been waiting too long
Just when you thought you could hold it all together
Your mind reels wild
[Verse 2]
Way south of any bordered country
In a land where the darkness is slow turning
In the twilight of a postcard island lie
Little ashtrays of industrial dreams
[Verse 3]
And you, yeah you, stranded on the moon
Just to keep it all in the back of your head
While you zoom, consume, little laughter from the gloom
Just to keep it all in the back of your head, now
[Verse 4]
If you've been waiting you've been waiting too long
Just when you thought you could go on forever, yeah
And you've been waiting you've been waiting too long
Just when you thought you could hold it all together
The world unwinds and your mind keeps on spinning out
[Verse 5]
In the chaos of a river thrashing
All that water and still got to stand in line
Everything you ever wanted truly
In a word carved in stone just beyond your touch
[Verse 6]
Touch thank you very much
Just to keep it all in the back of my head
While you zoom, consume, little bandits on the moon
Just to keep it all in the back of your head
Well the world's unkind I am here to remind you
[Verse 7]
If you've been waiting you've been waiting too long
Just when you thought you could go on forever, yeah
You've been waiting you've been waiting too long
Just when you thought you could hold it all together
The world unwinds and your mind keeps on spinning out
[Verse 8]
A fine line's been drawn here
Your tidy world has exploded into pieces
A song line's been sun here it's part of you
It's in blood and tattooed to your heart
[Verse 9]
If you've been waiting you've been waiting too long
Just when you thought you could go on forever, yeah
You've been waiting you've been waiting too long
Just when you thought you could hold it all together, yeah
You've been waiting you've been waiting too long
Just when you thought you could go on forever, yeah
If you've been waiting you've been waiting too long
Just when you thought you could
Just when you thought you could go on
[Verse 10]
You've been waiting too long
Spinning out of line
Your mind keeps on spinning out of line
You've been waiting too long
