Lyrics:Joshua Kadison Music:Joshua Kadison | |
Waiting in green velvet with a suitcase in her hand, | |
standing down a ways 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. | |
Chorus: | |
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 Judgement 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." | |
CHORUS | |
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 good-bye through the slowly closing door. | |
I just waved good-bye through the slowly closing door. | |
CHORUS |

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 faroff moon? | |
Are you packed and ready for Judgement Day?" | |

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. | |
