Do You Want To Wait Around In The Back?
Do You Want To Wait Around In The Background?
If You Want To Wait Around In The Back
Then I Can't Understand You, I Can't
You Want To Wait Around In The Back?
Are You Saying That You Want To Wait Around In The Background?
If You Really Want To Wait In The Background I Can't Understand You
I Can't Understand You, I Can't
The End Is In Sight
But Oh You're Waiting For Something
Ultra Violet Light
And Ooo I'm Waiting For You
Do You Want To Wait Around In The Back?
