Spin Doctors - Waiting For The Blow lyrics

Now our skys are falling down

And we have worn out all our frowns

And we have broken all our crowns

And been run out of all our towns

If it's the rod that wasn't spared

Or the ugly stick that you're below

Everybody took a licking and kept on ticking

Well, and they're all still waiting for the blow

Ahhh

Waiting for the, waiting for the blow...

Tell me now, exactly how

Your heart was broken long ago

It was devistating and you're still waiting

You're still waiting for the blow

I have no choice but to hold my voice

Before your sorry tale of woe

It's no surprise, I can empathize

We're all still waiting for the blow

Ahhh

Waiting for the, waiting for the blow...

(interlude)

Ahhh

Waiting for the, waiting for the blow...

Tell me, baby, why you're waiting

I want to know just where you're from

The trip to the floor you're waiting for

You know the blow may never come

Take your chances, place your bets

'cause you know you never know

If it never arrives we waste our lives

Waste them waiting for the blow

Ahhh

Waiting for the, waiting for the blow...
