One of these days when I'm unstuck I'm gonna buy a ticket and try my luck And ride the rails And one of these days when I'm on top I'm gonna pull the lever and watch them drop It's fairy tails and then we grow up We're so preoccupied with signals, reading signs Just waiting (What are we waiting for?) Try to find level ground Attention so divided, we're still undecided Waiting (What are we waiting for?) One of these days, but not just yet I'm gonna make a pile and just forget The weight of it One of these days, I tell you what I'm gonna make a go of it, all clean cut It's fairy tails And then we grow up We're so preoccupied with signals, reading signs Just waiting (What are we waiting for?) Try to find level ground Attention so divided, we're still undecided Waiting (What are we waiting for?) Always a space I need to fill Never enough spare time to kill Always objectives in the way Oh, to be elsewhere for a day Always a supervisor to say Never enough of a holiday We must have wrecked it, we couldn't protect it I never could see another way We're so preoccupied with signals, reading signs Just waiting (What are we waiting for?) Try to find level ground Attention so divided, we're still undecided Waiting (What are we waiting for?)
