Almost Famous movie - I'm Waiting For the Man lyrics

rate me

Song by David Bowie<br /><br>

I'm waiting for the man<br>

Twenty six dollars in my hand<br>

Up to Lexington, One Two Five<br>

So sick and dirty more dead than alive<br>

I'm waiting for the man<br>

<br>

Hey white boy, what you doing uptown?<br>

Hey white boy, you're chasing all the women around<br>

Oh pardon me sir it's furthest from my mind<br>

I'm just looking for a good friend of mine<br>

I'm waiting for the man<br>

<br>

Here he comes, he's all dressed in black<br>

PR shoes, and a big straw hat<br>

He's never early, he's always late<br>

First thing you learn is that you've always got to wait<br>

I'm waiting for the man<br>

<br>

Brown stone building and three flights of stairs<br>

Nobody stops you 'cause nobody cares<br>

He's got the works and he gives you sweet taste<br>

But then you've got to split because you've got no time to waste<br>

I'm waiting for the man<br>

<br>

Baby don't you holler, darling don't you scream and shout<br>

I'm feeling good, I'm going to work it on out<br>

I'm feeling good, I'm feeling so fine<br>

Until tomorrow but that's just another time<br>

I'm waiting for the man <br>

<br>

I'm waiting for the man<br>

Twenty six dollars lying there in my hand<br>

Up to Lexington, One Two Five five<br>

So sick and dirty more dead than alive<br>

I'm waiting for the man<br>

<br>
