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
