They shut down the golden hotel
Just because he says it won´t be long till they blow it all to the hell
She´s standing in the front yard cut off the skins

Me and her brother we been friends, since I can´t remember when

Ain´t that the way that it´s always been?
Everybody sitting around waiting for the sun to come again
A shift at the chemical plant, a white wedding dress
I wake up every morning and I wonder if I´m gonna pass the test

Just trying to live up to but she´s got in mind
Sometimes the pressure´s so heavy I feel like leaving it all behind

Ain´t that the way that it´s always been?
Laying low just long enough for the dust to settle down

The black and the white, the thick and the thin
And hoping that He´s really got the power to save us from these sins
Everybody sitting around waiting for the sun to come again

I took a long walk yesterday
To a field where I used to play
I saw myself in the corner of my mind
I was twelve years old and blind
To the big wheel and the grind

Ain´t that the way that it´s always been?
Standing at the water´s edge waiting for the fog to clear
Tackle or touch, you sink or you swim
And hoping that he´s really got the power to save us from these sins

Everybody sitting around waiting for the sun to come again
They´re waiting for the sun to come again
