What Are You Waiting For?

Oh, I was like a rag underwater In a white-washed river, hiding a bed of gold My heart sunk and heavy and drowning in the soil You came on like a wildfire Warming me up to a lie Oh, I must have been blind To think you were mine What are you waiting for? Come dance with us, we're burning What are you waiting for? We'll be gone by the morning What are you waiting for? What are you waiting for? For a night, we're the envy of the Perseids The world counts the days until their light But we burn so bright Make no promises to time What are you waiting for? Come dance with us, we're burning What are you waiting for? We'll be gone by the morning What are you waiting for? You're gone by the morning Must be making love to your man Feel used as I've ever been You've got some nerve to make me be the other man What are you waiting for? What are you waiting for? What are you waiting for? Come dance with us, we're burning What are you waiting for? We'll be gone by the morning What are you waiting for? What are you waiting for?
