The wine's all drunk and so am I
  Here with the hoi-poloi, don't ask me why
  We're celebratin' anticipatin'; end of the year
  everybody come, everybody here
  - well more or less
  Some already in a mess
  I guess they're waiting for the big one.
    Wonder why I'm cold. How did I get this far?
  Had no money, had no car
  I pray the snow goes, be bad if it settles
  'cos I follow my nose and the dried up rose petals
  - like the man says,
  Sure hope Moses knows his roses
  Or we'll all be waiting for the big one.
    Once I was the credit to my credit card
  spent what I hadn't got, (it) wasn't hard
  No trust in judgement no trust in money
  Someday I'll find myself like a bee finding honey
  But in the meantime
  I'm gonna have me some fun
  Waiting for the big one.
    One too many, where ego I go too
  Looking for the real thing
  It don't come from what I do
  No real communication moves out of my face
  I'm beginning to think I'm just out of place
  Won't get in too deep, I want to get some sleep
  To be ready for the big one
  To be ready for the big one
