| Song | Waiting in Green Velvet |
| Artist | Joshua Kadison |
| Album | Jessie |
| 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 |
