Waiting Lyrics

Should've arrived a bit later

Now I'm lighting a cigarette

And I don't even want it

Oh but the whisky is cooling me off

Can't seem to shake off the uncomfortableness

So I pretend

A primate in the corner

Don't know what he's done wrong

A primate in the corner

My performance nauseates me oh so

Just want to hit and run

Oh, I'm waiting

And here comes the next cigarette

And with more shame than the last

Oh but it musn't show

But all the eyes are on me now

Judging me by some rules

I did not agree upon.

A primate in the corner

Don't know what he's done wrong

A primate in the corner

My performance nauseates me oh so

Just want to hit and run

Oh, I'm waiting

Now I'm reaching for the telephone

Staring back at a screen

Pretending something is going on

But you can see right through me now

Well ain't that hard to spot

If you have been there too.

A primate in the corner

Don't know what he's done wrong

A primate in the corner

My performance nauseates me so much

Just want to hit and run, run, run

Oh, I'm waiting
