I've spent half of my life in this god awful place And I dare say I've only grown older I've had all I can take with patience and kindness I can't wait in this line any longer But this is the way that I am So if you choose me please abuse me Never mind the mileage There's no harming me intrinsically And every sign of wear and tear Is lost in autumn foliage Well aren't you impressed
Now I'm stating endless waiting Is my favorite pastime There's nothing new for me to do And so I have to wonder Will there ever be a last time 'Cause I need a rest
CHORUS Standing in the longest line Waiting for my turn I wonder if my turn will ever come
Chronic starter, perfect martyr Never need a reason I guess that I could hibernate Or move away to another place Pray for a change of season When will my sun shine
CHORUS
Now please don't show me spring time flowers It'd be more than I could take After living through the clouds and showers I can hardly wait
CHORUS
If you've spent half of your life in this god awful place You will swear that you've only grown older If you treat everyone you know with patience and kindness You will not know your self for much longer
Well, this is what I have become Standing in my line
