Waiting In Green Velvet

Waiting in green velvet with a suitcase in her hand
Standing down, away from the bus stop sign
Looking at the sky like she was bound for the promised land
Checkin' out her watch like she was losing time
She was checkin' out her watch like she was losing time

Thought I heard her talkin' somethin' 'bout
"Rainbow lights, a psychedelic sight, it'll be here soon
Comin' down to fly us all away
Can't you hear the roar of the distant engines from a far-off moon?
Are you packed and ready for Judgment Day?"

So I just sat there on the bus stop bench awhile
And watched her stare into the sun
Reminded me what my grandma said when I was just a child
"That'll hurt your eyes, dear little one
That'll hurt your eyes, dear little one"

Thought I heard her talkin' somethin' 'bout
"Rainbow lights, a psychedelic sight, it'll be here soon
Comin' down to fly us all away
Can't you hear the roar of the distant engines from a far-off moon?
Are you packed and ready for Judgment Day?"

The bus pulled up and I got in but the girl didn't even move
This was not the ride she was waiting for
The bus driver just shook his head 'cause there's nothing in the world to do
And I waved goodbye through the slowly closing door
I just waved goodbye through the slowly closing door

Thought I heard her talkin' somethin' 'bout
"Rainbow lights, a psychedelic sight, it'll be here soon
Comin' down to fly us all away
Can't you hear the roar of the distant engines from a far-off moon?
Are you packed and ready for Judgment Day?"
