I'm Waiting For Something To Happen
I'm sitting waiting, I'm all alone and blue
The bartenders watching TV
My glass is empty I need another beer
Some whiskey and a glass of iced tea
My wife's gone and left me for somebody new
The boss says he might let me go
I sit in this bar room there's only me here
Cos the barman does not want to know
I'm waiting for something to happen
But I don't know when
Or where or what or why or if so
I'm waiting for something to happen
But it has to be soon
Or else I'll get down off this stool and go
The door has opened a lady's just walked in
She staggers to the bar in high heels
Orders double whiskey then spills it on the bar
She looks at me and I know how she feels
The barman fills her glass again she lifts it to her lips
The whiskey disappears in one go
She turns to me and whispers in a soft and sultry voice
Can you help me I really need to know
I'm waiting for something to happen
But I don't know when
Or where or what or why or if so
I'm waiting for something to happen
But it has to be soon
Or else I'll get down off this stool and go
Or else I'll get down off this stool and go
So get up off your seat and let's go
