Adrian Belew Waiting Room Lyrics

Waiting Room Lyrics

when will I ever grow up 
when will today be enough 
when will I learn to be here now? 
it’s on the other side of the door - that’s what i’m looking for 
I have what I need - why do I want more? more? 
put a lot of pavement on my shoes 
made a lot of payments on my dues 
i’m running out of patience just like you 
i’ll be in the waiting room tomorrow just like today and yesterday 
why am I still waiting my life away? 
where will I find the will to stop running and just stand still 
and take a look at the bird in my hand? 
how can I find the faith to drop out of the human race 
and let the future crawl back to its cage?
