Lyrics

Where the dry dust turns the sunset pink
 Where all summer long
 it's so hot that you can't think straight
 Where we pump water from a well by hand
 Half a world away from the old promised land
 We understand
 We've been given
 A new covenant
 A real sharp one
 And we spent
 Our days and nights
 gaining new appreciation of its finer points
 Waiting for the dead to rise up from their graves
 waiting for Jesus
 to come along and save us
 and biding our time
 biding our time
 biding our time
 as best we know how.
 ♪
 Where the Texas Doughboys used to play
 Before the wind blew everything away
 Where we came to get away from our friends
 Where we tell each other jokes waiting for the world to end
 We know our jokes are funny
 and in all the wrong ways
 And we rent old George Romero movies
 relish the short time left
 waiting for the dead to rise up from their graves
 waiting for Jesus
 to come along and save us
 yes and biding our time
 biding our time
 biding our time
 as best we know how.
