'''''NOTE: THESE LYRICS ARE TRANSCRIBED BY EAR AND MAY BE INCORRECT''''' Waves have Weeds grown Should've have known On our ownown
 We wait wait
 Single filefile
 An empty smile And all the while We wait
I hear the world word is on the wing I don't believe in anything Cast asideaside
 This great divide With foolish pride We waitwait
 Off the trailtrail
 We eat our tailtails I can't fail And wait And wait Bound to fail
 And wait I hear the world word is on the wing I don't believe in anything I hear the A chorus of voices rise and to sing But I don't believe in anything Used to Believe in you Yet all we do Is wait ==External Links==*[https://archive.org/details/htda_multitracks Multitracks at archive.org]
