lyrics

Waitin On Wishes
r.dafremen

There is a well
out in the yard
hole in the ground where I toss my pennies

Long, long time waitin' on wishes

The cock done crowed but the ground too hard
it's hard to do right when you ain't got any.

Long, long time waitin' on wishes, yea

Yea, you've got a long, long time
waitin' out in the hall
And you've got a long, long time
Waitin' for the boom to fall
There's a place where the smile on the face of a mannequin starts to fall
When's he's got a long, long time
waitin' on his wishes.

Well bless my soul and punch my card
dyin's sure easy where the livin's hard

You've got a long, long time
waitin' on your wishes, yea

Black as coal that stole the stars
the hope's run dry where your troubles are

You've got a long, long time
Waitin' on your wishes, Yea

You've got a long, long time
waitin' out in the hall
and you've got a long, long time
waitin' for the boom to fall.

There's a place where the smile on the face of a mannequin starts to fall
When he's got a long, long time waitin' on his wishes, yea
Yea, you've got got a long long time waitin' on your wishes
He's got a long, long time..waitin' on his wishes.

about

Penniless Punk Utica, Michigan

This is music for working class people.

Only courage will make the world right.

If you're tired of the arguing, this music's for you.
If you're fighting the good fight, this music is for you.

If you still start each day with a little hope in your heart, this is for you.

I'm just glad you're here and I get to write songs about it.
