Waiting for the Band Lyrics

This life has got me so lonely
Maybe you're lonely too
I'd like to love you though I don't know you at all
But I sure won't find you starin' holes in the wall

I know that some say when it hits you
Man, you'll hear that music on parade
Until that time, I'll just be singin' alone
Waiting for the band to play

(humming)

I gotta shake off these demons
My heart is beaten and bruised
Or I could die here in this ugly motel
Face down in the bedroom, an attack of the blues

I know that some say when it hits you
Man, you'll hear that music on parade
Until that time, I'll just be singin' alone
Waiting for the band to play

And when the band strikes that big bass drum
I'm gonna get back onto my feet, yeah
Be the big man, where did he come from
I'm gonna dance right out in the street

Well, some say we're here to live a little
Hear that music on parade
Until that time, I'll just be singin' alone
And waiting for the band to play
