about

Another song that was significantly different back in the Monday Week days. It was more of a shuffle, in the vein of the Beatles' "Tell Me Why". When we started the Taters, I was looking for ways to work things more acoustically, at least the first few years, so this one was reworked to feature the acoustic guitar.

This was also done on our 2005 live CD.

They wait behind the door
One by one they find out more
The hardest part is still outside
Just waiting
The talk goes round and round
But the terms are still the same
Now I'm sitting in this room again
Playing the waiting game

When will you decide
What you're gonna do with me?
In the meantime now I'm stuck outside
Just waiting
The talk goes round and round
But the girls are still the same
Now there's three men with their hands in chains
Playing the waiting game

Something might be happening
With all this waiting
Something might be happening
You could turn, you could go
But you might never know

A front porch with a chair
Tired years of sitting there
Wonder who might come inside
Just waiting
The talk goes round and round
But the house is still the same
Now there's one less day but no less shame
One more man to go insane
Playing the waiting game
