Come on, did you hear me,
I’ll give 20 dollars more to help them
little cats and dogs that have been
shut out in the cold
Hey mister (mister) Mister auctioneer
I raise my hand
So if you need those bids believe me
I’m your man
He walks with an air like he’s not in the room
His eyes bright behind thin rimmed glasses
A smile to disarm his potential opponents in the game
With a flick of an ear he can hear any schemes
you may have if you hand would appear
is it your turn to share his might, in the figurative spot light
Though you might want to ask him why,
he’s got bigger things to buy.
Chorus
Is it personal greed or a need to be the
last voice heard in a room full of rookies
his name is known by all the go-fers,
look, he’s droppin’ two hundred on some knitted loafers
sometimes he’ll wait in the dark off the grid
until he jumps and doubles the highest bid.
Going once, going twice, 3, 4 times sold,
to the man in the striped lab coat
we all know this cat’s got claws
and hey it all goes to a good cause.
Chorus
And with all of his charity auction prowess,
you’d think that he’d pick up lots of enemies but no,
he’s pretty much universally well-liked by
everyone that’s met him
Cause he never writes IOU’s or bounces checks,
you can bet, when his
hand is in the air, you had best not even dare

Waiting
04:28

Waiting for busses, waiting for planes
Waiting for doctors to patch up your pains
Waiting for lovers, waiting for peace
Waiting for waiters and lazy police.
Waiting for court dates, waiting for checks.
Waiting to see if your name is called next.
Waiting for movies, waiting for friends
Wait for beginnings while hoping for ends.
And through all this waiting we don't stop to see if the
reason we're stalling is reason to be
All the things we are wanting in our minds to be...
But make sure you're in a right line.
And some day if we wait we'll be fine.
Theorize and justify reward must be greater,
for giving up what you are sure you need,
in exchange for something more later.
Feel it ache.
Feel it sting.
Put down your anger as selfishness
and find a new reason to sing.
When it's cold.
When it's late.
What can be earned without needing to bleed?
It's worth it so you have to wait.
Stop with the guessing, don't look at the clock.
The hours are laughing, the months only mock.
Waiting forever is only a crime if
You find that waiting is wasting your time.
