Waiting In Green Velvet

<br>Waiting in green velvet with a suitcase in her hand,<br>standing down a ways from the bus stop sign,<br>looking at the sky, like she was bound for the promised land,<br>checkin` out her watch like she was losing time.<br>She was checkin` out her watch like she was losing time.<br>Thought I heard her talkin` somethin` `bout<br>"Rainbow lights, a psychedelic sight, it`ll be here soon,<br>comin` down to fly us all away.<br>Can`t you hear the roar of the distant engines from a far-off moon?<br>Are you packed and ready for Judgement Day?"<br>So I just sat there on the bus stop bench awhile<br>and watched her stare into the sun.<br>Reminded me what my grandma said when I was just a child,<br>"That`ll hurt your eyes, dear little one,<br>that`ll hurt your eyes, dear little one."<br>Thought I heard her talkin` somethin` `bout<br>"Rainbow lights, a psychedelic sight, it`ll be here soon,<br>comin` down to fly us all away.<br>Can`t you hear the roar of the distant engines from a far-off moon?<br>Are you packed and ready for Judgement Day?"<br>The bus pulled up and I got in but the girl didn`t even move.<br>This was not the ride she was waiting for.<br>The bus driver just shook his head `cause there`s nothing in the world to do<br>and I waved good-bye through the slowly closing door.<br>I just waved good-bye through the slowly closing door.<br>Thought I heard her talkin` somethin` `bout<br>"Rainbow lights, a psychedelic sight, it`ll be here soon,<br>comin` down to fly us all away.<br>Can`t you hear the roar of the distant engines from a far-off moon?<br>Are you packed and ready for Judgement Day?"
