Waiting Lyrics

I think there might be someone

Hiding around a corner or

Nestled in an alcove or

Lurking by the doorway or

Maybe, although I can't be certain

Are they tucked behind the curtain

Oh

Hello, Digby

Now Digby I must admit

This has confused me quite a bit

I was just having a chat with my friend

Stuart over something that

Is really rather private

I don't mean to pry but

Was it simply a mistake

To be snuggled up betwixt my drapes

Smuggled in behind my blind

Were you just hanging behind my hanging

Or is there another reason

Why you think it's appropriate

To be such an advocate for

Nasty snooping

Such a shame

There I was hoping

You might want to join us down

Here, you got me all excited then you

Went and pulled a stunt like this

I have to say, it takes the biscuit

Richard

Let the poor lad speak

I implore you

Let the poor lad

Speaking of poor

Is that why you came here in the first place

Did you want to laugh at our misfortune

I imagine that your readers would be

Ever so invigorated

Hearing how we waste our lives just waiting

Waiting and waiting and

Waiting and waiting and

Waiting and waiting and

Wait

This whole thing is a lie

Everyone out there

The thing that drives their lives

Will never come to pass

It's all a farce

And you

You pull the strings

You're behind it all

The master puppeteer

You've been down here for years

And years

You don't understand they look to me

They look for leadership

But surely it's better to hear the truth

I know I'd want to know

I do what I must

To give them hope

I try to steer this ship

But it's madness

You really think the people here

Deserve to be pawns

In this game that you play

I've never seen such a greedy display

Greed, okay yes

Let's call it that

How selfish am

I to be feeding them

Housing them

While we all wait

While we all wait

'Til that blessed day comes

When we all hear our truth

We all hear our truth

We all hear our truth

Richard

Maybe it is time

I implore you

I think that it is time

Come with me

And we can live

Truly live

Far from this place

What do you say

Richard

Sorry my old friend

But unfortunately that

Isn't something I'm willing to do

So now then

Let's all get back to normal

I want things back to normal

So I'll have to deal with you

I thought that you might say that

Oh dear Digby, did you really

Think that you'd be leaving here

Knowing what you know

Clearly you have underestimated

Just how far this newt's prepared to go
