The Actor Songtext
von The Clockworks

I′ve been waiting for the moment to arrive
I've been waiting for the perfect time
I′ve been waiting for the future to come knocking
To tell me everything is going to be fine
I've been waiting for the guts and for the glory
I've been waiting for my never ending story
I′ve been waiting to say whatever I want
And while I wait life waves as it passes me by
Waves as it passes me by
Colour drains from my face as
Life waves as it passes me by
Waves as it passes me by


The evening simmers into dusk
The city hums like a generator
All the actors tread the boards in
A new performance that they′re calling
'Never bored, forever boring′
And by curtain call I'm snoring
Asleep at the wheel of fortune
And was it Shakespeare who said
′You can live when you're dead′?

Colour drains from my face
Colour drains from my face when
Life waves as it passes me by
Waves as it passes me by

I've been waiting for the moment to arrive
I've been waiting for the perfect time
I′ve been waiting for the future to come knocking
To tell me everything is going to be fine
I′ve been waiting for the guts and for the glory
I've been waiting for my never ending story
I′ve been waiting to say whatever I want
And while I wait life waves as it passes me by
Waves as it passes me by
Waves as it passes me by
Waves as it passes me by


Waves as it passes me by
Waves as it passes me by
Waves as it passes me by
Waves as it passes me by
Waves as it passes me by
