I wonder who he’s gonna stick it in this time. Ev’ryone was looking for a little entertainment So they’ll prob’bly pull his hands off when they find out his name. And then they shut down the power all along the line And we got stuck in the tunnel where no lights shine. They got to touching all the girls who were too scared to call out. Nobody was saying anything at all. We were waiting for the end of the world. Waiting for the end of the world Waiting for the end of the world. Dear Lord I sincerely hope you’re comin’ ’Cause you really started something. | CF| CF| CF| CF| Things got back to normal as the train began to roll again. We got to the station about twenty minutes later. The legendary hitchhiker says he knows where it’s at. Now he’d like to go to Spain or somewhere like that With his two-tone Bible and his funny cigarettes His sun tan lotion and his castenets. He was waiting for the end of the world Waiting for the end of the world Waiting for the end of the world. Dear Lord I sincerely hope you’re comin’ ’Cause you really started something. | CF| CF| CF| And then the bride the groom the congregation and the priest All got onto the train when we were three stations east yeah. | CF| CF| CF| CF| Hiding from a scandal in the national press They had been trying to get married since they stole the wedding dress. You may see them drowning as you stroll along the beach. But don’t throw out the lifeline till they’re clean out of reach. Waiting for the end of the world. Waiting for the end of the world.

La chanson évoque un sentiment d'attente anxieuse face à un destin incertain. Elle dépeint des scènes où les gens sont captivés par des événements dramatiques, se questionnant sur le sort qui les attend. Au cœur de cette agitation, le protagoniste espère une intervention divine, comme si la venue de Dieu pourrait apporter un changement salvateur dans ce monde désenchanté. Le contexte apparaît d'autant plus pertinent à une époque où l'information rapide et les crises semblent hanter le quotidien. Les personnages de la chanson symbolisent des aspirations communes et des inquiétudes, allant d'un homme rampant dans un train à une noce égarée, soulignant l'absurdité de la vie moderne face à une attente quasi apocalyptique.
