lyrics

My whole life
has been
anticipation.
I'm always waiting.

Put all my eggs in one basket,
count all my chickens before they're hatching.
They fall and break when I'm not watching,
but that's OK coz then I'm still waiting.

My whole life has been anticipation.
Nothing is as much as I think.
My whole life still is imagination.
I am not as much as I think I will be.

None of that intriguing ennui for me -
I know just what I want, I can never hold it still in my hand.
I know I should do things as their own reward,
but I've never found anything that I could not wait for.

Do you know what you want?
I know what I want.
I never get what I want.
Do you get what you want?
Do you put all your presents from last year
gathering dust in the cabinet for next year?
I guess I got what I want, but I always just put it away.

My whole life
still is
anticipation.
I'm always waiting.

Now when I wake up in the morning
I don't get out of bed I just lie there to see
wait and see if something's happening to me.
When will anything happen to me?

Conductors Chicago, Illinois

"Mona tried to tell me
To stay away from the train line
She said that all the railroad men
Just drink up your blood like wine
An’ I said, 'Oh, I didn’t know that
But then again, there’s only one I’ve met
An’ he just smoked my eyelids
An’ punched my cigarette' "
